To make homemade oatmeal cream pies, follow this recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the molasses and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  12. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the heavy cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the filling reaches a spreadable consistency.
  13. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of filling onto the bottom side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
  14. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
  15. Store the assembled oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Enjoy your homemade oatmeal cream pies! They’re a nostalgic and delicious treat.
