Baking the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together.
- In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter with both the brown and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then fold in the oats until everything is well combined.
- Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a slightly golden edge while ensuring the centers remain chewy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Preparing the Filling
- Beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a hearty dollop of this creamy filling between two cookies, creating the oatmeal cream pies.

Notes
You can easily swap out some ingredients for variations like using coconut oil for a dairy-free option or adding chocolate chips to the dough.
