Ingredients

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oatmeal

For the Cream Filling:

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
6. Add Oats: Stir in the oatmeal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to portion out 1 tablespoon of dough. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
