Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the oats.

Step 4

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 5

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Prepare the Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream; beat until light and fluffy.

Step 7

If the filling is too thick, add a bit more cream; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Step 8

Assemble the Cream Pies: Pair the cookies up by size. Spread or pipe a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie of each pair. Top with the second cookie, pressing down gently to spread the filling to the edges.

Step 9

Let the oatmeal cream pies set for a bit before serving to allow the filling to firm up. Enjoy!
