Delicious and chewy oatmeal cookies filled with a sweet cream cheese filling, reminiscent of childhood favorites.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring in the vanilla extract afterward.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the creamed butter mixture.
- Fold in the rolled oats until fully incorporated into the cookie dough.
- Using rounded tablespoons, drop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by whisking together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies before topping with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
- Enjoy your homemade oatmeal cream pie cookies!
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute unsweetened applesauce for a portion of the butter. These cookies are great with chocolate chips or nuts added.
