Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set and centers are soft.
  2. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling
  1. In a bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  2. Once cookies are completely cool, spread filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie.
  3. Repeat until all cookies are sandwiched.

Notes

Store in a sealed container to keep cookies soft. For a firmer filling, chill in the fridge before serving.
