Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Cookies:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

For the Creamy Filling:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          Add Oats: Fold in the rolled oats and raisins or chocolate chips if using, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.

            Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Make the Filling: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the creamy filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, followed by the vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.

                  Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of the creamy filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.

                    Enjoy!: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
