Oatmeal Raisin Sandwich Cookies
- 3 1/2 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbs. molasses
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups 1-minute Quaker Oats
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
- For filling: 1 7-oz. jar marshmallow creme
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugars, molasses and vanilla with an electric mixer.
- Beat in eggs until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and raisins and mix by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto a well-greased baking sheet.
- The dough will be very tacky, so you may wish to moisten your fingers so it does not stick.
- With moistened fingers, press down on the dough and form it into circles about 1/8" thick.
- The circles should be about 2" diameter before baking.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until a couple of the cookies start to darken around the edges.
- They will still be very tender in the center until cool.
- Be careful not to overcook.
- When cooled, the cookies should be about 1/4" thick and very soft and chewy.
- When cookies have completely cooled, assemble them by spreading about 1 1/2 tablespoons of marshmallow creme over the flat side of a cookie and then pressing another cookie on top, making a sandwich.
- Repeat for remaining cookies and filling.
- Store cookies wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them soft and chewy.
- They should be eaten within a day or two of filling.
