Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and ¼ cup of molasses until smooth.
  3. Add in one large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 3 cups of old-fashioned oats.
  5. Gradually mix the dry blend into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until slightly soft in the center and lightly golden.
  8. For the filling, combine ½ cup of unsalted butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixer.
  9. Beat until creamy, adjusting with more heavy cream if necessary.
