Ingredients | Nature Valley Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup butter

¾ cup dark brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 tablespoon molasses

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats

2 teaspoons hot water

¼ teaspoon salt

1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream

½ cup shortening

½ cup confectioners' sugar

¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Cookies will look moist so be sure not to overbake!
