Ingredients
  

  • Cookies:
  • 1 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 tbsp honey or molasses
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 2 cups uncooked quick oats
  • Filling:
  • 4 teaspoons hot water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 14 oz marshmallow creme
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Beat in the egg, vanilla, and honey.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
  • Drop 2 tbsp dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about 2" inches apart.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden on edges. Watch closely; these go from nearly done to burnt very fast!
  • Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the salt in hot water and allow to cool.
  • Combine marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl.
  • Mix on high until fluffy.
  • Add in the cooled salt water and mix well.
