Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla; beat until blended.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the oil, molasses, and sour cream.
Alternately mix the flour mixture and molasses mixture into the creamed butter just until combined.
Drop 2 tablespoons of batter about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 14 – 16 minutes or until they spring back when touched in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack before you add the filling.
To make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and confectioner’s sugar on medium speed until fluffy.
Add the vanilla, salt, and Marshmallow fluff until combined.
Add a rounded tablespoon of the filling on the center of the flat side of the cake-like cookie.
Top with the flat side of another cookie and press together slightly.
Serve and enjoy!
