Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup frosting (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and spread a generous amount of frosting on the flat side. Top it with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat this process until all cookies are paired and filled.
- Serve the cookie sandwiches immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your Sydelle's Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches!
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture • Use room temperature eggs for more even mixing and better cookie consistency • Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender • Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly • Let cookies cool completely before adding frosting to prevent melting • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough or using different frosting flavors • Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their crisp texture • For a professional touch, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading
