Oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with a cream cheese filling just takes these cookies to another level of heavenly. The molasses and sugar allow for a soft and chewy texture. The rich buttery flavor just sings out alongside the vanilla and cinnamon tones. NOTE: your cookies will keep fresh in an airtight container for 3-5 days alternatively you can wrap then up and freeze them .
