• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup butter
• 0.75 cups dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups quick-cooking oats

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Combine flour, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl.

3. 3

   Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Stir in flour mixture until dough comes together. Stir in oats.

4. 4

   Drop cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets, a few inches apart, using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until edges are starting to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. 6

   Stir hot water and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl until salt is dissolved. Let cool, about 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Combine marshmallow cream, shortening, confectioners' sugar, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Mix in cooled salt water.

8. 8

   Spread some of the filling on the back of 1 cooled cookie. Add another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.
