Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat 1 and 1/4 cups of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of molasses, mixing until well combined.
  4. Whisk together 1 and 2/3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves, and 3 cups of quick oats.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the filling, beat 3/4 cup of softened butter, then gradually add 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fluffy.
  10. Spread the filling on half of the cooled cookies and sandwich with the remaining cookies.
  11. Chill briefly if desired before serving.

Notes
