Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Beat in the egg, then gradually mix in flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until sticky.
  3. Scoop the cookie dough onto baking sheets, leaving 2 inches apart for spreading.
  4. Bake for 7-11 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cookies cool completely on the sheets.
  5. While cooling, whip together softened butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more cream if needed.
  6. Once cookies are cooled, spread frosting on one cookie and sandwich with another. Repeat until all are frosted and paired.
