Equipment

  • food processor
  • Stand mixer with paddle attachment
  • Parchment-lined baking sheets
  • Pastry bag with ¼-inch plain tip

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ⅔ cup dried apples finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup golden syrup or unsulfured molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk

Filling:

  • 1 recipe Vanilla Marshmallow Creme

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Mix:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, oats, cocoa, dried apples, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Pulse until the apples and oats are finely ground. Store this mixture in an airtight container if making ahead.

Make the Dough:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry mix, alternating with milk, until a sticky dough forms. Scrape the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Shape and Bake:

  • Scoop the dough into 1-tablespoon portions and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 2 ½ inches apart.
  • Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look puffed. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes.

Assemble the Cookies:

  • Spread a tablespoon of marshmallow creme on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing gently to seal.

Notes

Variations:
  • Cocoa Creme Pies: Use 1 ½ cups cocoa powder and add chopped dark chocolate. Skip spices for a rich chocolate flavor.
  • Lemon Cream Pies: Omit the cocoa and spices; add 2 tablespoons lemon zest and ½ teaspoon lemon extract.
  • Vegan Option: Replace butter with coconut oil and eggs with applesauce. Use vegan marshmallow creme for filling.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Replace flour with tapioca or coconut flour.
