Chocolate Oatmeal Cream Pie Footballs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in egg, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Mix oats, flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat into the creamed butter mixture on low speed. Fold in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough until firm enough to scoop, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop small balls of dough onto the lined baking sheets using a small cookie scoop.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cookies sit on the baking sheets for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Combine cream cheese and vegetable shortening in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add marshmallow cream, 2 teaspoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until filling reaches a thick consistency.
• Scoop some of the filling onto the flat side of 1 cookie using the cookie scoop. Press another cookie on top to sandwich the filling. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Steps:

• FOR COOKIES: In a large bowl, beat Crisco, brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, vanilla and eggs. Add flour, salt, baking soda, cocoa and cinnamon. Mix in the oats. Drop by one tablespoon onto a parchment lined cookie sheet (shape into an oval). Bake 7-8 minutes in a 350°F oven, until just starting to brown around the edges. DON'T OVERCOOK! Pinch edges of cookies into a football shape if they have rounded too much. After cookies have cooled fill and drizzle laces on top with melted white chocolate!
• FOR THE FILLING: Combine hot water and salt and mix until salt is dissolved. In large bowl, beat Marshmallow Fluff with Crisco, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat on high until fluffy. Add in salt water and mix until well combined. Spread filling on one cookie and press second cookie on top.
• FOR THE TOPPING: Using the melted white chocolate, drizzle the top to look like football laces. Allow to set about ten minutes. Enjoy!
