Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for topping)

How to Make Oatmeal Cream Pies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  9. Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, pressing gently to adhere.
  10. Top each sandwich with a sprinkle of chocolate chips, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Don’t skip cooling the cookies completely before adding the filling; this prevents the filling from melting.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in a handful of chopped nuts or raisins with the cookie dough.

Easy Variations

  • Chocolate Oatmeal Cream Pies: Substitute 1/4 cup of flour with unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
  • Nutty Addition: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough for a delightful crunch.
  • Maple Cream Filling: Replace the vanilla extract in the filling with maple syrup for a new flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

Pair these oatmeal cream pies with:

  • A tall glass of milk
  • Hot chocolate for a cozy treat
  • Fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast
  • Your favorite coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack

Storage and Reheating

Store the oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For a soft and chewy experience, let them come to room temperature before enjoying. Reheating isn’t necessary, but you can warm them slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds if desired.
