Ingredients
Instructions
- Bake at 375° until golden brown.
- When cookies are cold, spread with filling.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider substituting half the shortening with unsweetened applesauce. If you prefer whole grain, you can replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Ensure your oats are rolled and not instant for the best texture. Remember to measure your flour properly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off for accuracy.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own or can be served with a side of Chocolate Pudding for a sweet treat. They also pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or coffee. For a fun twist, try spreading a layer of frosting or filling between two cookies to create a sandwich. They make a great addition to any dessert table alongside 24 Hour Salad 'Holiday'.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, warm them gently in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute white sugar or a mix of white and brown sugar for a different flavor profile. However, keep in mind that brown sugar adds moisture and a rich flavor, so if you use only white sugar, your cookies may be slightly drier.
What can I use instead of buttermilk?
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. This will mimic the acidity of buttermilk and work well in the recipe.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies should be golden brown around the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
