Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a saucepan, boil the apple cider until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Let it cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and the first teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is just combined.
  5. Mix in the rolled oats and the cooled apple cider until evenly incorporated.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Baking
  1. Drop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets.
Filling
  1. For the filling, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and the second teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Spread the filling on the flat side of one cooled cookie and sandwich it with another cookie. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and softness. You can freeze the baked cookies before filling for longer storage.
