Oatmeal Cookiewiches With Kahlua Creme
- 1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
- 34 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 34 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 12 cups flour
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 apple, grated (or finely diced, not more than 1 cup)
- granulated sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 4 -5 tablespoons Kahlua (more or less to taste)
- 1 (3 1/4 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Set aside.
- Cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Stir in the flour mixture.
- Mix in the oats.
- Add in the nuts and apples.
- The dough will be fairly stiff, and may not 'hold together'.
- This is OK. As long as there is not dry oatmeal or flour, the mix is not too dry.
- Drop by large tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet.
- I use a double-dip of my small cookie scoop.
- I can fit 6 on a cookie sheet.
- I've found that they 'spread' more on airbake sheets, so I prefer regular dark cookie sheets with silpat liner.
- Using a fork, dipped in sugar, press the cookies down to about a 2 inch round size.
- You will want them to be uniform size and shape for later.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from cookie sheet and cool.
- To make the Kahlua Creme, whip the heavy cream and Kahlua to soft peaks.
- Add the vanilla pudding mix and continue to beat until creme is thick.
- Spread a good dollop of creme on the center of one of the cookies.
- Top with another cookie, and press gently until creme squished to edge of the cookies.
- You can either eat them like this, while the creme is soft.
- Or you can freeze them, and thaw partially before eating, giving it more of an ice-cream texture.
