Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the Oatmeal Cookies:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
\u00be cup brown sugar, packed
\u00bd cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp molasses (for classic flavor)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1\u00bd cups all-purpose flour
\u00bd tsp baking soda
\u00bd tsp baking powder
\u00bd tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1\u00bd cups quick oats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Marshmallow Creme Filling:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup marshmallow creme (like Fluff)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1\u20132 tsp heavy cream or milk (if needed to thin)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2\u20133 minutes. Add in the molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then stir in the oats until just combined. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the scoop or your fingers. Bake for 9\u201311 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the centers look set. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the filling, beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until fluffy. Beat in the marshmallow creme, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until light and airy. If the filling is too thick, add 1 tsp of cream or milk at a time until spreadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the cookies are completely cooled, pair them up by size. Spoon or pipe the marshmallow filling onto the flat side of one cookie and gently press the second cookie on top to sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for the Perfect Homemade Pies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use quick oats<\/strong> for the best texture. Rolled oats make them too chewy. Don\u2019t overbake\u2014the cookies should be soft and tender, not crispy. Let them cool completely before adding the filling or it will melt and ooze out. For the classic soft, bendy texture, store them in an airtight container overnight before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Add-Ons & Variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dough for extra spice. Stir in mini chocolate chips for a sweet twist. Swap the marshmallow filling with cream cheese frosting for a tangy take. Add a swirl of peanut butter into the filling for a fun remix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
