Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies Recipe

ingredients

1 1/2 cup shortening
2 2/3 cups packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups old fashioned oats

Filling
3/4 cup shortening
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 jar (7 ounce size) marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons milk (or as needed)

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the oats.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Filling: In a small mixing bowl, cream the shortening, sugar, and marshmallow creme. Add enough milk to achieve desired spreading consistency. Spread filling on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
