Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
  4. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in the oats.
  8. Bake the Cookies:
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Prepare the Cream Filling:
  13. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
  14. Assemble the Cream Pies:
  15. Spread a generous amount of cream filling on the flat side of one cookie.
  16. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich.
  17. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Notes

For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of molasses to the cookie dough.
