Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsulphured molasses
  • 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Salt, to taste (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat 1 and 1/4 cups of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the large egg, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of molasses to the mixture; beat until well combined.
  4. Whisk together the 1 and 2/3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 3 cups of quick oats.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until fully combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow cooling for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Beat 3/4 cup of softened butter in a separate bowl until creamy, then gradually mix in 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  9. Spread the filling on half of the cooled cookies and top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
  10. Enjoy your homemade oatmeal cream pies!

Notes

Use room temperature butter and egg for a smoother dough. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
