These oatmeal cream pie cookies are chewy oatmeal cookies sandwiched with a fluffy, lightly sweet cream filling. Perfect for cozy afternoons or gatherings, they are quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (270g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (for cream filling)
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for cream filling)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • A pinch of salt (for cream filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 1 ½ inches apart on the baking sheets. Flatten each slightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the cream filling by beating ½ cup softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until fluffy. Mix in vanilla, heavy cream, and salt. Adjust consistency if needed.
  10. Spread or pipe about 2 tablespoons of cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and press gently to spread filling to edges.
  11. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate the cookie sandwiches for 30 minutes to let the cream set. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best chewiness, not quick oats. Soften butter completely for best texture. Cool cookies fully before sandwiching to prevent melting the cream. The cream filling can be made ahead and chilled. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and coconut cream. Baking time may vary if using an air fryer (320°F for about 8 minutes).
