Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the oats.
4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. To make the cream filling, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
7. Spread a dollop of cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and cream filling.
8. Serve the oatmeal cream pies immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
