Ingredients
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons eggnog
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.
5. Scoop cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets using a medium cookie scoop.
6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
7. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before assembling.
8. For the filling, beat butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar, then mix in eggnog one tablespoon at a time until fluffy. Sprinkle in nutmeg and beat until smooth.
9. Spread or pipe filling onto one cookie, then sandwich with another. Gently press to seal the edges.
Notes
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for both the dough and the filling—it whips better and blends more smoothly.
Chill the cookie dough for 15–30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.
Add more eggnog to the filling if needed, one teaspoon at a time, to adjust the consistency.
