Cookie Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup softened butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1.5 cups rolled oats, 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined to form a thick dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cream Filling Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whip together ¼ cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until light and fluffy.
- Once cookies have completely cooled, spread or pipe the cream filling generously onto half of the cookies.
- Top with remaining cookies, pressing gently to create a sandwich.

Notes
Ensure cookies are fully cooled before filling to avoid melting the cream. Store in an airtight container to maintain softness.
