  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for buttercream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.

  8. Once cookies are cool, spread buttercream between two cookies to create sandwiches.

Nutrition

Keywords: Use old-fashioned oats for better texture; they provide a heartier bite. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can prevent spreading and enhance flavor. Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
