Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the butter with a mixer for about 30 seconds, then add the sugar and beat until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat thoroughly. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in two or three batches, mixing well. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

2. For large cookies, place 2 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 5 cm apart. For smaller cookies, use 1 tablespoon of dough. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Prepare the filling. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar together. Mix in vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the marshmallow filling and beat until light and fluffy. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. If the filling turns out too soft or runny, add more sugar. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto one cookie half and top with the remaining cookie halves to make sandwiches.
