Oatmeal Cream Pies

For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 375 F.

Begin by creaming the butter in the large bowl of your stand mixer. Add the white sugar and mix. Add the brown sugar and mix. Keep on whipping and creaming. Add the egg and vanilla. Continue mixing until fully combined, then set aside.

Mix the dry ingredients (flour through cinnamon) together in another bowl. Add the oats in with the dry ingredients. Stir together. Gradually add this mixture into the creamed mixture. Mix until combined.

Use a small cookie scoop to scoop dough and roll each scoop into a ball. Place the dough balls at least 2″ apart on a baking sheet that you’ve lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cookies at 375 F for 10 minutes. Then remove them from the oven and leave on the pan to cool (and continue baking) for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool completely.

For the filling:
Begin by creaming the butter in a medium sized bowl. Sift the powdered sugar into another bowl. Add the sifted powdered sugar to the butter and mix. Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of whipping cream. Mix on medium speed until combined. Turn the mixer on high and whip the filling for about 2 minutes until fluffy.

Take half the cookies and distribute the filling onto the bottom side of all of them, then press another cookie on top. Eat and enjoy.
