Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Use high-quality flour; organic options work wonderfully!
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats Rolled oats provide a chewy texture; avoid quick oats for this recipe.
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice Feel free to adjust the spice levels based on your preference.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg Using fresh nutmeg makes a significant difference!
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, room temperature Ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed Brown sugar adds moisture and that signature caramel flavor.
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon molasses This ingredient enhances color and flavor; don’t skip it!
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Always use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Filling Ingredients
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff (7 ounces)
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar Sift it to avoid lumps when mixing into the filling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat together the room-temperature butter and brown sugar on low speed until smooth and creamy—about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract. Beat until well incorporated.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 7-8 minutes, watching for a golden edge and a soft center.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Filling and Assembly
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and marshmallow fluff. Gradually add confectioners' sugar until you achieve a stiff filling.
  2. Spread a generous layer of filling on the flat side of half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
  3. Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cream Pies!
