Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 1 1/2 cups shortening
• 2 2/3 cups brown sugar, packed
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup shortening
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
• 1 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk

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.
