Chocolate Oatmeal Sandwiches

You can basically use any oatmeal cookie recipe for this but i will write the recipe I followed out of the Taste of Home Cookie magazine. I have fallen in love with Taste of Home magazines!!!

Chocolate Oatmeal Sandwiches
2.5cups of butter softened
1.5cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 cups quick-cooking oats
2.5cups all purpose flour
half a cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Filling
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla/ Combine the oats, flour, cocoa,baking soda and salt; gradually add to the cream mixture adn mix well.

Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart(i would recomment using an icecream scooper for this to keep them all the same size and shape, i did not use it and so mine didn't look as neat.) Bake at 375* for 10 min or until set. remove from wire rack and cool.

For the filling in a large sauce pan melt chocolate chips butter and milk together. remove from heat, beat in vanilla. spread on the bottom of half the cookies and top with the remaining ones!
