Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup raisins optional
For the Cream Filling
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk adjust for desired consistency

Method
 

Prepare the Oatmeal Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the oats and raisins (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make the Cream Filling
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk, adjusting the milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Assemble the Oatmeal Cream Pies
  1. Take one cooled oatmeal cookie and spread a generous amount of cream filling on the flat side.
  2. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Press gently to spread the filling to the edges.
  3. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
  4. Store the assembled oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

For a twist, you can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the cookie dough. Ensure the cookies are completely cool before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
