Warm, soft, and nostalgic, these Oatmeal Cream Pies are a homemade take on a classic sandwich cookie with a tender and chewy cookie layer filled with a luxuriously smooth cream center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsulphured or dark molasses
  • 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Salt, to taste (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat 1 and 1/4 cups of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of molasses to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. Whisk together 1 and 2/3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 3 cups of quick oats.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly golden, then allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. For the filling, beat 3/4 cup of softened butter until creamy, then mix in 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  9. Spread the filling on half of the cooled cookies and top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.

Notes

Use consistent tablespoon scoops for uniform cookies. Chilling the dough can prevent spreading if your kitchen is warm. Store assembled pies in an airtight container.
