SPICED OATMEAL CREAM PIES

These homemade spiced oatmeal cream pies are the BEST!

My family loves oatmeal cream pies! Most of you know that our Mom owned a country store when we were kids. This meant we had access to oatmeal cream pies 24/7. As a kid, I just couldn’t get enough. However…homemade is always better! These cream sandwiches are sooo good and be warned..completely addictive. My husband actually is the one that makes these cookies and we all get very excited when we see him in the kitchen. These little sandwiches are delicious!

Spiced Oatmeal Cream Pies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon  Allspice

1/4 teaspoon Ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups quick or old fashioned oatmeal

Cream:

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, this will take 2-3 minutes. Next, add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add in oats and mix them all together. Drop dough onto cookie sheets. Dough will spread out so keep cookies 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Once cookies have cooled completely, prepare the cream filling.

Cream Filling:

With a mixer beat butter on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes. Your buttercream should be extra fluffy. With your mixer on a low speed start to slowly add in the powdered sugar. Continue mixing until the powdered sugar is completely mixed in. Next, add vanilla extract and whipping cream and mix through. Keep mixing at a higher speed for 2-3 minutes until you reach the consistency you desire. Spread the cream on one side of a cookie and place another cookie on top.

Notes: This recipe made 7 very LARGE cookie sandwiches. You can easily make these much smaller. Cookies should be stored in the refrigerator. Let them set out for an hour or so before serving.
