Best Ever Oatmeal Cream Pies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 0.75 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup cinnamon chips (such as Hershey's®)
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, molasses, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the oats and cinnamon chips.
4. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
6. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the filling is light, smooth, and fluffy.
7. Spread about 1 teaspoon of cream filling onto the flat side of half of the cooled cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich cookies. Enjoy!
