Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
Stir in the quick-cooking oats until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream filling by beating the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until you achieve a thick, spreadable consistency.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the cream filling onto the flat side of half the cookies.
Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwich pies and gently press together.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
