Equipment

  • Stand mixer or electric hand mixer

Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats

Buttercream Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • tiny pinch of fine sea salt
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 Tablespoon mixed berry jam

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Make the cookie dough.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer), beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar until creamy.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and mix until combined.
  • Add oats and mix just until blended.
  • Scoop tablespoons of dough and gently roll each into a ball.

Bake the cookies.

  • Place cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Let cookies cool on the tray for a couple of minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the buttercream filling.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer), beat butter on medium-high speed until smooth. 
  • Add vanilla and salt and beat on medium-high speed until blended.
  • Add sugar slowly – one cup at a time – beating well on medium speed and scraping the bowl often. When all sugar is added the frosting will be slightly dry. 
  • Add milk and beat on high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Add the berry jam and beat until well blended.

Assemble the sandwich cookies.

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, spread half of the cookies with a thick layer of buttercream and top with the remaining cookies.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
