In a medium bowl, add unsalted butter and mix it until smooth.

Use a medium bowl and combine together the dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, cinnamon and pinch of salt.

Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir it together.

Finally, add the oatmeal and mix it again until fully incorporated.

Place 2 tablespoon size balls of the mixture onto a prepared cookie sheet using a spoon. Shape it a little if desired.

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown.

In a bowl place the unsalted butter and cream with the hand mixer, until smooth.

Add confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Stir it all together again.

On one bottom-side of a cookie, fill with cream filling and place a second cookie bottom on top like a sandwich. Then enjoy!

Tips to Make Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

• Use quick-cooking oats for the cookie base - it creates a softer texture and will hold together better when baking.
• Start with room-temperature butter before mixing, to get the best consistency for the cookie dough.
• Make sure to bake on parchment paper or a silicone mat so that nothing sticks and cookies come out perfectly every time!
• To check if your oatmeal cream pies are done baking, lightly press down in the center of one with your finger - if it springs back up after you release, they're ready to be taken out of the oven!
• Let oatmeal cream pies cool completely on a wire rack before filling them with frosting or cream cheese icing – this helps keep their shape intact while cooling off quickly enough that they don't dry out too much!
