Soft, chewy, and filled with creamy vanilla frosting — these homemade Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookies bring nostalgic comfort in every bite. Perfect for bake sales, family gatherings, or a cozy weekend treat.
Ingredients
For the Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
For the Cream Filling
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup marshmallow creme or fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp heavy cream or milk optional, for consistency
Instructions
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
Add the Oats:
- Fold in the oats until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
Bake the Cookies:
- Scoop dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft. Let cool completely.
Make the Cream Filling:
- In another bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until light and fluffy, adding a splash of cream if needed for texture.
Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:
- Spread or pipe cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture.
- Slightly underbake for soft centers.
- Cool completely before filling to prevent melting.
- Store in an airtight container to keep cookies moist.
