  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1.5 cups Quick Cook Oats processed into smaller pieces in a food processor

Cream Filling

  • 1.5 jars Marshmallow Fluff approximately 10 ounces total

  • 2 teaspoons Very Hot Water
  • 0.25 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter flavored shortening, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the processed oats.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before removing.
  • To make the filling, combine the marshmallow fluff, butter flavored shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the kosher salt in the very hot water. Gradually add this mixture to the cream filling and beat until well combined and smooth.
  • Spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, and gently press to create a sandwich.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter flavored shortening is at room temperature for the filling. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
