How to Make Spicy Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of shortening and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and your choice of spices (1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves are suggested).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 cups of rolled oats.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the filling. In a small bowl, cream together 1 cup of shortening, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of marshmallow creme until smooth.
- Gradually add ¼ cup of milk (or more, as needed), mixing until you reach a spreadable consistency.
- Spread a generous layer of filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Enjoy your Spicy Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with a big glass of cold milk!
