Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies (nostalgic… with a grown-up twist)
Start by browning 1 cup unsalted butter until golden and nutty. Add ¾ cup dark brown sugar and ¼ cup granulated sugar, then blend until smooth.
Mix in 2 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined. Scoop into dough balls (this made 19 cookies using a 2-tablespoon scoop).
Chill the dough while the oven preheats to 350°F—this step is key for extra chewy, flavorful cookies. You can also chill the dough up to 72 hours if prepping ahead.
Bake 6 cookies at a time on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9 minutes. Right when they come out, use a large round object (cookie cutter, mason jar, or bowl) to gently swirl around the edges and create perfectly round cookies.
Transfer cookies off the baking sheet and let cool completely on a flat surface.
Once cool, flip half of the cookies over, spread with vanilla bean frosting, then sandwich with the remaining cookies. Chill or store in a cool place and enjoy ✨ Soft, chewy oatmeal cookies + creamy filling = pure nostalgia.
