Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- In a clean bowl, beat softened butter and vegetable shortening until smooth, then add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add milk one tablespoon at a time and beat gently until the filling is thick but spreadable.
- Pair cookies of similar size and spread or pipe a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with the second cookie to form a sandwich.
