• 1-1/2 cups shortening
• 2-2/3 cups packed brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground Tone's® Ground Cinnamon
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

• 4 cups old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup shortening
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
• 1 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For filling, in a small bowl, cream the shortening, sugar and marshmallow creme. Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread filling on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
