- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

- 3–4 cups powdered sugar (330–440 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cream, if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C or 170C fan forced). Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or baking paper.
- In a large bowl beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in the molasses, vanilla extract and eggs until creamy.
- Turn off the mixer and add in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Do a few stirs by hand first, then turn the mixer to a low speed and beat until incorporated.
- Stir in the oats.
- Form the cookies into balls about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons in size and place 2 inches apart on the lined cookie sheets.
- Bake 1 sheet of cookies at a time in the middle of the preheated oven for about 9-11 minutes, or until the tops look set.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy.
- Chop the cream cheeses into 3-4 pieces, then beat into the butter.
- Add in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Start with the mixer on a low speed, then gradually increase to a medium speed until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Beat in the rest of the powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time until the desired sweetness is reached. If needed, beat in 1 tablespoon of cream.
- Take 1 cooled cookie and frost the bottom with about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of frosting.
- Sandwich a second cookie on top with the bottom facing down.
Notes
- Store assembled cookies in an airtight container.
- Cookies can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
