Equipment

1 Baking sheet

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups old fashioned oats

Filling

1/2 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons milk as needed

Instructions

Make the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, sugars, and molasses. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and stir until just combined.
Fold in the oats until all are covered well.
Use your cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the parchment paper, leaving space between each ball of dough.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, then remove and let cool for a few minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

Make the Filling

Beat the butter with a hand (or stand) mixer until it is whipped and fluffy.
Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until it turns into a frosting consistency.
Add the filling to half of the cookies and then top the filling with a second cookie.

Notes

You can adjust the icing consistency easily. If it's difficult to mix, add 1 teaspoon of milk and mix again. If it's too thin, add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and mix again.
