Oatmeal Whoopie Pies

For the oatmeal cookies:
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl combine the flour, oats, salt, cinnamon and baking soda and set aside. In a medium bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time until combine.

Add the wet mixture to the flour and mix until completely combined. Using a spoon, make rounded tablespoon-sized balls and place on the cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes until sides of cookie start to brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before applying cream cheese frosting between two cookies.

For the cream cheese frosting:
Let the cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes. In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar until fully combined. Spread a healthy dose of frosting between your cookies and enjoy.
