Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

For filling, in a small bowl, cream the shortening, sugar and marshmallow creme. Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread filling on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
