Peanut Butter Oatmeal Sammies


~Cookies~
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Whoppies
2 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
11/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon vanilla (my addition)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
Cream butter or margarine with the brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and mix well. Stir in the salt, cinnamon, baking powder, boiling water, vanilla, baking soda and flour. Mix to combine. Stir in the oats.
Drop cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool then make sandwiches from two cookies filled with Peanut Butter Filling.
~Filling~
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually mix in the sugar, and when it starts to get thick, incorporate milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable. Beat for at least 3 minutes for it to get good and fluffy.
