5. Fold in rolled oats gently to maintain texture.
6. Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set.
8. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
9. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

11. Spoon or pipe filling onto the flat side of a cookie and sandwich with another.

Notes
Chill the dough if it’s too soft to help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
Make sure the cookies are fully cooled before assembling to avoid melting the cream.
For a cleaner presentation, use a piping bag to fill the cookies.
