ingredients
Oatmeal Cookies- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2½ cups icing sugar
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 (7-1/2 oz) jar marshmallow fluff
- 3 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
directions
- For the oatmeal cookies, preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until well combined. Add molasses and vanilla extract. On low speed, add oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, mixing just until flour disappears. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool completely before filling.
- For the marshmallow filling, using an electric mixer combine icing sugar, butter, marshmallow fluff, milk and vanilla extract on medium speed, until desired spreading consistency.
- To assemble moon pies, turn 15 cookies over, bottom sides up. Spread each with a large spoonful of marshmallow filling. Top with remaining 15 cookies and gently squeeze. Cookies can be refrigerated until ready to serve to firm up filling.
