Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Cookies will appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, spread marshmallow fluff on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
- Gently press cookies together to create a uniform sandwich, ensuring filling is evenly distributed.
- Store completed cookie sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Softened Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaming results. This helps create a light and fluffy cookie base.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Spacing is Crucial: When dropping your cookie dough onto the baking sheets, leave enough space between each ball to allow for spreading. About 2 inches apart is ideal.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cookies at the 10-minute mark. You want them to be golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Cool Completely: Allow your cookies to cool completely before assembling them into sandwiches. This ensures that the marshmallow fluff doesn’t melt and makes for a perfect bite.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookie sandwiches fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay delicious for up to 3 days!
