Description
Soft oatmeal cookies filled with a creamy frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 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
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous amount of frosting onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
Notes
- For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for both the cookies and the filling for best results.
- You can store the oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
