Hey friends! Happy Sunday! I hope you’ve had a great weekend. We had a relatively relaxing one, and it’s just what we needed to recover from Irma drama. It’s been a weird September. People still don’t feel back to normal from the hurricane, and we didn’t ultimately get hit that hard, but there was such a prolonged period of stress and anxiety in anticipation of it – no one is quite themselves here yet. Shell-shock.

I’ve been thinking about everyone that was impacted by Harvey and Maria too, and I’m praying for all those people.

Our weekend wasn’t *completely* relaxing, but I’ll get to that in a minute. For the most part, we just enjoyed downtime, went to dinner with friends, and did boring stuff like go to the grocery store and watch football.

So, would anyone like a kitten??? 🙂 A mother and three kittens showed up in our yard. We started feeding them and trying to befriend them. The mother is super sweet and friendly, but the kittens are skittish. They’ll warm up, they just need a little socialization. Since the hurricane, it’s been extremely difficult to find any shelters with room to take them. We dug around, and found a rescue organization that can take them all, but our challenge now is gathering the troops. The mother is no problem, but the kittens are tricky buggers.

Let’s finally talk about fall baked goods and these Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with Cookie Butter Frosting.

If my life depended on it, I don’t remember where I got this oatmeal cookie recipe, but I’m not switching anytime soon. These are the BEST oatmeal cookies. So many oatmeal cookies are chewy in the center and crispy on the edges, but otherwise flat as a pancake. Not these, these are thick too.

They don’t collapse or spread out too thin, they stay thick and substantial. They’re all the chewiness and softness you want in a perfect oatmeal cookie, and with golden, crispy edges too.

What else can I say Cookie Butter Frosting??? It’s part of a four-way tie for best frosting in the universe with Peanut Butter Frosting, Nutella Buttercream, and Brown Butter Frosting. I’ve used Cookie Butter Frosting in a number of recipes, but I really wanted to smash it between two perfect oatmeal cookies to make these Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with Cookie Butter Frosting that would feature a cinnamon explosion.

Think about it – soft, chewy, buttery oatmeal cookies, heavy on cinnamon, filled with a rich, fluffy frosting made from a cinnamon cookie spread. This was a match made in heaven, and the results are heavenly, indeed.
