Oatmeal Jim Jams image

I got this cookie recipe from a cookbook called America's favorite recipes. I don't know how long it takes to prepare the dough. The cooking time doesn't include the time it takes to thicken the filling. I live at a high altitude so cooking times may not be the same.

These oatmeal jim jams are too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
