Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 150 grams fruit jam (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined without over-mixing.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of jam on the flat side of one cookie. Place another cookie on top, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and jam. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
