The oatmeal cookies on their own are easily the tastiest and best oatmeal cookies I have EVER MADE! I made my creme pies slightly smaller than the recipe called for so I had about 30 pies total. Highly recommend!<\/em> <em>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>They\u2019re not an exact copycat, though. <\/strong>My homemade version is softer and oat-ier than the original. And I know that packaged oatmeal creme pies use raisin paste (among other additional ingredients) in the cookie dough; these do not.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients You Need &amp; Why<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> These cookies use plenty of it both in the cookie dough and in the filling. You need a lot of butter in the cookie dough to ensure spread. The cookies should be soft and flat, and using proper room-temperature butter will help achieve that. If the butter is too soft, they\u2019ll over-spread and become hard and crispy. Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/room-temperature-butter\/\">room-temperature butter in baking<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark Brown Sugar &amp; Granulated Sugar: <\/strong>I recommend reaching for dark brown sugar, which has a slightly higher molasses content than light brown sugar. This means more flavor. You\u2019ll use some granulated sugar, too, to ensure the cookies spread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg: <\/strong>An egg helps bind the ingredients and provides structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla, Cinnamon, &amp; Cloves:<\/strong> Deliciously cozy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Molasses: <\/strong>Just a Tablespoon, for even more flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour: <\/strong>Flour gives the cookies structure and helps soak up the moisture in the cookie dough. Note that I slightly increased the flour from the original recipe. I now use 1 and 2\/3 cups (209g) instead of 1 and 1\/2 cups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Soda: <\/strong>Helps the cookies puff up, then fall a bit as they cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt: <\/strong>Flavor enhancer, and to balance the sweet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick Oats:<\/strong> For the ideal texture, use quick oats. They incorporate smoothly into the dough, unlike whole oats, which can make the cookies overly coarse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners\u2019 Sugar: <\/strong>To sweeten and thicken the filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Cream: <\/strong>Smooths out the filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s address the butter in the room one more time: <\/strong>yes, these cookies use plenty. You need 1 and 1\/4 cups (20 Tablespoons) in the cookie dough. This is 2 and 1\/2 sticks. You also need 3\/4 cup (12 Tbsp) in the filling, which is 1 and 1\/2 sticks. These aren\u2019t lightened-up or <em>healthified<\/em> in any way\u2014and that\u2019s the whole point. They\u2019re a true treat, one worth savoring\u2026 every single soft and sticky bite.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-star\">Oats Success Tip<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Again, use quick oats for the best texture.<\/p>\n<p>If you only have old-fashioned whole oats, which is what I usually use in most oatmeal cookie recipes, give them a few pulses in your food processor to break them down. That\u2019s the secret to helping these cookies spread just right and still hold their soft, chewy center.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homemade Cream Filling<\/h2>\n<p>As the cookies finish cooling, you can make the cream filling. This is just like making an American-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandpacooks.com\/recipes\/sallys-buttercreme-frosting\/\">buttercream frosting<\/a>. Beat butter until smooth, and then add confectioners\u2019 sugar, cream, vanilla, and then add salt to taste. It\u2019s smooth, fluffy, and thick\u2014perfect consistency to stuff inside two cookies!<\/p>\n<div id=\"tasty-recipes-76598\" class=\"tasty-recipes tasty-recipes-76598 tasty-recipes-print tasty-recipes-has-image\" data-tr-id=\"76598\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"primary-color.background-color\">\n<header class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-header\">\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail wp-image-148755\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/oatmeal-cream-pies-265x265.jpg\" alt=\"homemade oatmeal cream pies with one with a bite taken out.\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-description=\"These soft-baked oatmeal cream pies are a homemade take on the classic lunchbox treat we all loved growing up.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before continuing with step 8. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months.
