Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- Make the cookies: Beat brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well.
- Mix together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients in 2 batches, alternating with boiling water, mixing batter after each addition until well combined. Stir in oats.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, switching racks halfway through. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the filling: Beat 1 cup confectioners' sugar, egg white, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in shortening and remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar until light and creamy.
- Spread filling onto 1/2 of the cooled cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies.
