Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in molasses, vanilla extract, and add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Slowly incorporate into wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in quick oats until evenly distributed without overworking the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, place dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes until tops are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
- For the filling, beat softened butter until fluffy, gradually add cream cheese, and sift in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Spread creamy filling on the bottom of one cooled cookie and sandwich with another cookie, allowing filling to ooze out.
- Repeat until all cookies are used.
