Instructions
-
For the Oatmeal Cookies: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
-
In a stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy (about 8-10 minutes).
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla, milk, and whiskey.
-
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the oats by hand.
-
Using a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing each cookie 2 inches apart. Bake for 5-8 minutes until lightly brown around the edges. Let cool on a wire rack.

For the Marshmallow Cream:
