Soft, chewy and sandwiching the most delicious vanilla buttercream, are an upgrade from the dry and dull oatmeal cookies. These cookies are sure to be a hit even with the staunchest oatmeal hater.
1 cup butter, softened ¾ cup light brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder 2.5 cups regular oatmeal ¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, softened 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon full fat milk
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and two sugars until the mixture is fluffy and soft.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to combine.
Mix together all the dry ingredients and add to the bowl with the creamed butter mixture.
Use a spatula to fold into a dough and use an ice cream scoop to line cookies on the baking sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, use an electric whisk to beat the butter for the filling until it turns a pale yellow colour and becomes fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar and continue to whisk until combined.
Follow it up with the milk and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Use a spoon or piping bag to spread the filling on the flat side of a cookie and sandwich with the flat side of a second one.
Repeat the process until done and serve at room temperature.
