Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon molasses
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
for the vanilla creme filling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 – 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fit the paddle attachment, combine the butter, brown sugar, and molasses. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and add the egg and the vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl stir together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
- Use 1 Tablespoon measure of a .5 ounce cookie scoop to scoop the dough out onto your cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and the centers have puffed up but are still underdone. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, make the creme filling. Combine all of the ingredients in a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment and beat on slow, gradually increasing to high until light and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fit with a round tip.
- Pipe the creme filling onto the backside of one of the cookies and sandwich together with another cookie.
- Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 7 days! Enjoy!
