1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugars, molasses,
vanilla, and eggs.
3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and
cinnamon.
4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix in
the oats.
5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are just starting to
darken around the edges. They will still appear moist in the center.
Be careful not to overcook - when cooled, the cookies should be soft
and chewy.
6. While the cookies bake, prepare the filling. Use a small bowl to
dissolve the salt in 2 teaspoons of very hot water. Set this
solution aside to cool.
7. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and
vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on
high speed until fluffy. Add the cooled salt solution to the filling
mixture and combine with the mixer.
8. Assemble each creme pie by spreading the filling over one side of
a cookie (the flat side) and press another cookie on top, making a
sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cookies and filling.
Makes 2 dozen creme pies. |
