Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Pinch of salt (for filling)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (to adjust filling texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing evenly, and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
  7. Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cookies cool, beat butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, vanilla, salt, and milk until smooth and fluffy.
  9. Spread or pipe the filling onto half of the cookies and top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich pies.

Notes

  • Add orange zest to the filling for a citrusy twist.
  • Stir chopped candied ginger or raisins into the dough for extra texture.
  • Use cream cheese in the filling for a tangier, lighter version.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
  • Freeze individually wrapped cream pies for up to 1 month.
