Description
A recipe for making classic, sweet oatmeal cream pies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup of butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the rolled oats.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the 1/2 cup of softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until combined.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of milk until the filling is light and creamy.
- To assemble, spread a generous layer of filling on the flat side of one cooled cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, and gently press to form a sandwich.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
- Store assembled pies in an airtight container.
