Soft, chewy, and filled with a creamy vanilla buttercream, these Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies are the perfect balance of comforting flavors and indulgent sweetness. With warm cinnamon and brown sugar in every bite, they’re great for lunchboxes, special occasions, or simply treating yourself!
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Chill the Dough:
Cover and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
Bake the Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop small portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the cookies cool completely before assembling.
Make the Filling:
Beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (or cream) until light and fluffy.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.
