Ingredients

Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups all‑purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

3 cups rolled oats

Marshmallow Cream Filling

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to creamed mixture.

Stir in rolled oats.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. Flatten slightly.

Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.

Make the Filling

Beat butter and powdered sugar until smooth.

Add marshmallow creme and vanilla; beat until fluffy.

Assemble

Spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of one cookie.

Top with another cookie, pressing gently to sandwich.

Tips for Success

Use quick oats for softer cookies, rolled oats for chewier texture.

Chill dough for 20 minutes if sticky.

Pipe filling for neat sandwiches.

Store in an airtight container — they stay soft for up to 3 days.

Fun Variations

Chocolate Dip: Half‑dip pies in melted chocolate.

Peanut Butter Cream: Add ½ cup peanut butter to filling.

Holiday Spice: Mix nutmeg or ginger into cookie dough.

Mini Pies: Make smaller cookies for bite‑sized treats.

Storytelling Element

Imagine biting into one — the cookie is chewy and spiced, the filling fluffy and sweet, and together they melt into that nostalgic flavor you remember, only fresher and better.
