Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • For the cream filling:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk for lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mix into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball gently.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Remove after 5 minutes and transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the cream filling by beating 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
  10. Pair cookies of similar size, spread cream filling on one cookie’s flat side, then sandwich with the other. Press gently to spread filling evenly.
  11. Chill assembled pies in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving for best results.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for best creaming results. Do not overmix dough after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for chewy texture. Chill filling if too soft before assembling. Let assembled pies chill 30 minutes before serving. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
