Instructions
 

  • Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream together both sugars and butter for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy, scrapping down the sides at least once.
  • Add eggs, one by one, with about a minute between each.
  • Add vanilla, continuing to beat on medium.
  • Add dry ingredients (flour mixture) 1/2 cup at a time on low speed until combined.
  • Stir in the oats on low, one cup at a time.
  • Use a medium (2 inch) scoop or make a 2 tbsp ball of oatmeal cookie dough by hand.
  • Place cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on your lined cookie sheet.
  • Chill cookie dough in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, until edges are golden brown and top is cooked. Insides will still be a soft, chewy oatmeal cookie.
  • Allow to cool 10 minutes, moving to wire racks to cool after about 2 minutes.
  • Pipe or spoon marshmallow cream (maple or vanilla) onto bottom of one cookie. Place an equal size cookie on top to create a sandwich cookie.
  • Maple Marshmallow Creme
  • Cream together butter and powdered sugar, about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the marshmallow, whipping on medium to medium-high until combined.
  • Add maple syrup, vanilla, maple extract and pinch of salt.
  • Add more powdered sugar to thicken or more maple syrup to thin as needed.

  • Add marshmallow creme (aka Marshmallow fluff), whipping on medium to medium-high until combined.
  • Add vanilla extract.
  • Add milk one tablespoon at a time, until your marshmallow creme is a semi-thick frosting consistency. You do not want your creme to dribble out or be too stiff.
