# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until fully combined.
03 -
Whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves in a separate bowl.
04 -
Slowly add the dry mixture to the mixer on low speed and mix until just combined. Fold in the quick oats until evenly distributed.
05 -
Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet spacing them 7.5 cm apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
06 -
With a stand mixer and paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
07 -
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the filling is light and fluffy. If the filling is too firm, add heavy cream 5 ml at a time to adjust consistency.

Spread the cream filling onto the flat side of half the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies.
