Cookie Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

I’ve never been a huge fan of traditional sandwich cookies. I know that probably makes me a weirdo in your book, but two dry cookies sandwiched with a dreamy filling doesn’t make an ideal cookie to me. I’ll eat the filling, leave the dry cookies, thank you.
But wait! An oatmeal cream pie? Now there’s a different story! There you have two soft, hearty oatmeal cookies AND the dreamy filling. Um, yes please, I’ll take the whole thing…and an extra for the road.
That’s how I came to my Cookie Butter Oatmeal Sandwich cookies. I took the amazing cookie butter that I love (dreamy filling) and sandwiched it between to chewy but substantial oatmeal cookies. This just got serious. The perfect combo.
If you haven’t tried cookie butter… get in your car and drive to the store NOW! If you’re at Trader Joe’s grab a jar of their Cookie Butter; if you’re at Target, Walmart, Kroger or wherever you happen to shop, grab a jar of creamy Biscoff spread or Speculoos spread! Now, drive home and get ready to bake (oh, go ahead and eat a spoonful to start…and resist eating the whole jar).
