Ingredients

Scale

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2/3 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons eggnog, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
2 cups confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons eggnog, at room temperature (for filling)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for filling)
A pinch each of salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (for filling)

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, oats, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg, eggnog, and vanilla; mix well.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet; mix on low speed until just combined.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll dough into balls and place on baking sheets, leaving 3 inches between each. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For the filling, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar followed by eggnog, vanilla extract, and spices; beat until fluffy.
Assemble by spreading cream filling on the bottom side of half the cookies and sandwiching them with the remaining cookies.

Notes
