Oatmeal Cream Pies

Oatmeal Cream Pies feature soft, chewy oatmeal cookies spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, sandwiched around a fluffy vanilla frosting. The cookies are baked until lightly browned but still soft in the center, providing a tender base for the creamy filling. This treat offers a nostalgic texture and sweet-spiced flavor combination, with practical storage advice included for freshness.

Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 cup butter salted, softened, 2 sticks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 egg large
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups oats quick-cooking
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon cloves ground
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
FOR THE FILLING:
  • 2 vanilla frosting I used Betty Crocker Whipped Fluffy White frosting, but any similar version or even homemade frosting will work, cans, prepared

Instructions

BAKE THE COOKIES:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses and vanilla; beat well.
  2. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Chill dough for at least 30-60 minutes.
  3. Drop chilled dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
  4. Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
PREPARE THE CREAM PIES:
  1. Once the cookies are cool, spread (or pipe in a bag) about 2 tablespoons of frosting onto the back side of one cookie, leaving a small border around the edge to allow the frosting to squish a little. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich and press down gently. Repeat until you’ve used all of the cookies.
  2. Store in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Leave plenty of room between cookie dough drops on the baking sheet to allow for spreading.
  • Remove cookies from the oven when edges are lightly browned but centers are still soft for a chewy texture.
  • Use whipped fluffy white frosting or similar for the filling, leaving a small border from the edge to prevent overflow.
  • Store the cream pies airtight at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
  • These cookies can be frozen wrapped tightly for up to 3 months.
