❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

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!

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

These incredible oatmeal cream pies take a little effort. It’sn’t the quickest process, but the end result is worth it!

Step 1
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. 

Step 2
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. 

Step 3
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.

Instructions

 

• 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.

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.
