Ingredients

For the Oatmeal Cookies:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

For the Cream Filling:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. For the cookies, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in raisins or chocolate chips.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop heaping tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the cream filling, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream (or milk) and beat until light and fluffy. If the filling is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of cream filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich, gently pressing down to spread the filling evenly.
  8. Store the assembled pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Customize the cookies by adding dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes for additional flavor and texture.

Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the cream filling for a chocolate twist.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or cloves to the dough along with the cinnamon.

For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free cream filling (coconut cream or vegan buttercream).

Refrigerate the pies for 30 minutes after assembling to help set the filling and prevent it from oozing out.
