Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy — about 2–3 minutes with a mixer. Mix in vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, beating until combined.
Mixing dough
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined, then stir in oats with a spatula. The dough will be thick.
Baking
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each mound with your fingers — they don’t spread much.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers look set. Rotate pans halfway if your oven is uneven. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the filling
- To make the filling, beat together marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable. If it’s too stiff, add a tiny splash of milk.
Assembling the pies
- Sandwich a spoonful of filling between two cooled cookies. Press gently so the filling spreads to the edges. Enjoy right away or chill to set the filling.
Notes
Letting the cookies cool completely before sandwiching the filling prevents the marshmallow from melting and oozing out. Use rolled oats (not instant) for the best texture.
