Recipe Added:  9/16/2012
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp maple syrup
Butter Maple Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1-2 Tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 350. Line or spray baking sheets. In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon and set aside. Cream sugar and butter in large bowl. Combine eggs one at a time then add in maple syrup. Gradually add in flour mixture. Using a spoon or cookie scoop make rounded small balls and set on cookie sheets spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart.

Bake 8-10 minutes until sides just begin to brown. Cool completely on wire rack. Add a dollop of frosting to bottom of one cookie. Place another cookie bottom on top of frosting and press down until a cookie sandwich is formed.

Butter Maple Frosting Add butter to a small saucepan and slowly melt on low heat until butter turns an amber-brown color. Set aside to cool. Using an electric mixer add cooled butter, melted to medium bowl with maple syrup and powdered sugar. Mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add in 1-2 Tbsp milk until creamy.
