== Instructions ==
 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
 1. Beat butter and sugars with a heavy-duty stand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes; add eggs and vanilla, and beat until just combined. 
 1. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed just until combined, about 10 seconds. 
 1. Stir in oats.
 1. Drop 2-inch round spoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. 
 1. Bake in preheated oven until golden but still soft in center, 9 to 10 minutes. 
 1. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; remove cookies to wire racks, and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
 1. In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. 
 1. Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency. 
 1. Pipe about 1 1⁄2 tablespoons buttercream on 1 flat side of half of cooled cookies; top with remaining cookies, flat side down, pressing gently.
