Description
A delightful treat featuring soft, chewy oatmeal cookies filled with sweet, fluffy frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- Milk (for filling, as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the oats and any optional ingredients like coconut or chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Prepare the filling by beating together 1 cup of softened butter and 4 cups of powdered sugar. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another.
Notes
Add raisins or nuts to the cookies for extra texture, or sprinkle sea salt on the filling for a sweet-savory kick. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
