The fluffiest brown butter buttercream frosting sandwiched between soft, chewy oatmeal cookies. Heaven in every bite my friends. The cinnamon spiced oatmeal cookies pair perfectly with the rich, nutty, brown butter frosting.
We crashed our friends’ block party over the weekend and brought these along to share with everyone…whom we didn’t know at all 😉 But its always fun to meet and share cookies with new friends.
I might just like these more than the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies I grew up loving.
Brown Butter Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies

Yields 24
For the cookies
- 1 cup butter, soft
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
For the frosting
- 1 cup butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
First make the frosting
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally until butter is foaming and brown specks begin to appear and butter smells nutty. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl to chill. Chill in fridge until butter solidifies again (about 1 hour).
- Once chilled, place chilled brown butter in a mixing bowl. Slowly beat in powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Whip until thick and creamy. Set frosting aside.
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until creamy. In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnoman and salt. Slowly beat into the sugar mixture. Stir in oats.
- Scoop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-9 minutes. Let cool for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Spread a thick layer of frosting in between two oatmeal cookies.

Homemade oatmeal cookies are the best and yours look really delicious.
Thank you ChiChi!!
These look amazing!!
Thank you Megan!!
These look absolutely delicious. Will be baking these…and soon 🙂
Oooh, yum! These remind me of some cookies I used to eat in college that were fantastic! But I’m sure these are even better, because they are not from a box. Totally want to make these, like, now.
I only have half & half. How much would it affect the end result? (sorry, people who ask about substitutions usually bug me, but I REALLY want to make these today and have no car lol)
I think you can use half & half!!
I made the filling and paired it with bourbon oatmeal cookies….ADDICTING! That filling is amazing.
Thanks Sara!! I agree, that filling could be eaten all by itself 🙂
