Instructions
Oatmeal Cookies
In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, and oats. Mix until combined. Set aside.1 ¾ cups All-purpose flour,1 teaspoon Baking soda,1 teaspoon Salt,1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon,½ teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice,3 cups Old fashioned oats
Using a mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar together on high speed for 2 minutes. Add in vanilla, molasses, and eggs. Mix until combined on medium speed.1 cup Unsalted butter,1 cup Brown sugar,½ cup White granulated sugar,1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract,½ tablespoon Molasses,2 Large eggs
Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop. It will make 3 dozen cookies. Place 12 per cookie sheet and place the rest of the scooped dough balls in the fridge.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for 4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely before frosting.
Marshmallow Cream Frosting
Using a mixer, beat the butter and marshmallow cream on high speed for 3 minutes.1 cup Unsalted butter,7 oz Marshmallow fluff/cream
Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt on low speed until just combined. Beat on high speed for 4 minutes.1 cup Powdered sugar,1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract,¼ teaspoon Salt
Pipe the frosting into 1 layer on the back of a cookie. I used Wilton 1M piping to pipe the frosting. Top with another cookie. Chill in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving. If you are serving later, store in the fridge.
Notes
Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cookies.
High altitude baking- Add an extra tablespoon of flour.
