Oatmeal Creme Pie Recipe Taste of Nostalgia

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a mixer.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the vanilla creme filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
11. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
12. Beat in the milk, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until light and creamy.
13. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of vanilla creme filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat-side down, to create a sandwich.
14. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
