Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup shortening
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the cookies cool, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, shortening, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

Step 10

Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous layer of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
