The Ultimate Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

Combine in a small bowl:
1/2 C All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt

In a separate bowl (I use a mixer)combine:
3/4 C Unsalted Butter at room temp (sitting outside the fridge for about an hour)
1/2 C Sugar
1 C Light Brown Sugar

Beat Until light and fluffy.
Add 1 egg and 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract. Mix Well.
Add flour mixture. Mix Well.

Stir in 3 C Old Fashioned oats, 1 cup at a time

Stir in 1 C semisweet choc. chips ( I like to use mini choc chips)

Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Be sure to not overbake.

Cool on cookie sheet for about 10 minutes then move to cooling rack. Cover bowl with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.

Filling:

I like to double this recipe.

Mix 1 stick of salted butter, room temp with 1 1/2 C powdered sugar (sifted) and 3 T milk.

Put filling between 2 cookies. I like to put in fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!

This recipe was given to me by my friend, Jennifer Simpson from one of her cookbooks which I'm not sure the title of.
