Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 150 grams rolled oats
• 150 grams fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined without over-mixing.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of jam on the flat side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cookies and jam. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
