Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 3/4 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling, beat 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in 2 cups of powdered sugar, beating until well incorporated.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk, and beat until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
Spread a tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Store the oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
