Method
 

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