Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until incorporated. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until combined.
- Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the filling, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the filling between two cooled cookies to create sandwiches.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Use fresh spices for bolder flavor and avoid overbaking to ensure a chewy texture.
