Soft oatmeal cookies are sandwiched with a light, fluffy vanilla cream filling to create a nostalgic and comforting dessert that’s chewy, creamy, and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar (150g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cream filling:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted (180g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Toast the rolled oats on a baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until nutty but not burnt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Fold in the toasted oats with a spatula until evenly incorporated.
  7. Drop rounded mounds of dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft. Do not overbake.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  10. To prepare the cream filling, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
  11. Stir in vanilla extract. Add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until the filling is light, fluffy, and spreadable.
  12. Spread or pipe a generous dollop of cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie. Press lightly to spread the filling to the edges.
  13. Chill the assembled oatmeal cream pies in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Toast the oats to enhance flavor but watch carefully to avoid burning. Use softened but not melted butter for best cookie texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Chill assembled pies to help filling set and prevent oozing. If filling is too soft during assembly, refrigerate briefly to firm up.
