- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Start by mixing your dry ingredients. Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and that heavenly pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, cream together butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy. This is key for getting that perfect texture, so don’t skimp on the mixing time!
- Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated. Then mix in your pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until everything’s well combined and looking irresistibly orange.
- Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until you’ve got a cohesive dough.
- Time to bake! Scoop out portions of dough onto your baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes.
- The smell that's about to fill your kitchen? Pure autumn bliss!
- While your cookies are cooling, whip up that creamy pumpkin filling. Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and a touch more pumpkin puree and spice.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, sandwich that luscious filling between two cookies. Voila! Pumpkin oatmeal cream pie perfection!
