Description
Nostalgic homemade oatmeal cream pies with a soft cookie base and creamy marshmallow filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening or unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt (for filling)
- 1 1/3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 Tbsp Marshmallow Fluff
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small heatproof bowl, cover raisins with water and microwave until steaming (about 60 seconds). Let sit until softened, then drain.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor until they resemble coarse cornmeal, then transfer to a large bowl.
- In the food processor, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, salt, and softened raisins and process until smooth.
- Add butter to the mixture and process until combined.
- Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, baking soda, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In the bowl with oats, add flour and the egg mixture; gently fold until smooth.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into 28 balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake until edges are set and centers are slightly wet-looking, about 10-12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets.
- Prepare the filling by processing shortening and salt until smooth, then add confectioners’ sugar and Marshmallow Fluff, processing until combined.
- Assemble the pies by pairing cookies of similar size and filling with a level tablespoon of the filling, then close with another cookie.
- Store filled cookies in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Make the filling a day ahead for convenience. Use parchment paper to reduce mess.
