Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Cookies

  • 1 cup 0.5 lb unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup 0.5 lb brown sugar
  • ½ cup 0.25 lb granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 ½ cups 0.375 lb all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups 0.75 lb quick-cooking oats

For the Cream Filling

  • ½ cup 0.25 lb unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups 0.37 lb powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Oatmeal Cookie Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses, and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in the oats until evenly incorporated.

Step 2: Bake the Oatmeal Cookies

  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Cream Filling

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream (or milk), and beat until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Oatmeal Cream Pies

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling on the flat side of half of the cookies.
  • Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later. Enjoy these soft and chewy treats with a cold glass of milk!

  • Storage: Store the oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Add-Ins: For extra flavor, add raisins or chocolate chips to the oatmeal cookie dough.
