Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies

I was shocked after making these for the first time because they were stunning. I am in love and want to make them every day of the week. Every. Day. I wasn’t sure how the filling would change the cookie as it sat overnight, so I did some playing. I baked my cookies so there were some still really soft and a little underdone, some done, and some a smidgen overdone. As the cookie sits, the icing starts to soften the cookie.

They were even better the second day than the night that I made them! That being said, the softest cookies were great but the cookies that were done with a hint of crunch were the best. The overdone ones were significantly resurrected from sitting overnight with the filling but were still a little crunchier than I would prefer. Play with the textures that you prefer best and have fun making these cuties — and eating them, too! They’re sweetened to perfection and make cookie sandwiches something you’ll want in your life all the time.

What are oatmeal cream pies made of?

The cookies in oatmeal cream pies are made of butter, brown sugar, an egg, vanilla, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and old-fashioned oats. Pretty basic in terms of cookie ingredients but they make perfectly chewy cookies! The filling in this recipe is made of butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and marshmallow cream. It is creamy, silky, sweet, and just pure heaven.

How long do oatmeal cream pies last?

These last for about 3 to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keep in mind that they continue softening because of the frosting filling over time, so they may get softer and chewier after a couple of days. They’ll last for up to 4 months frozen in an airtight container.

Are oatmeal cream pies vegetarian?

They are vegetarian! However, there is butter in the cookies and filling, so they would not be considered vegan.

Does oatmeal cream pie have gluten?

Yes, there is flour in the cookie dough for oatmeal cream pies. To make these gluten free, substitute a gluten free flour and GF oats for the regular flour and old-fashioned oats.

How to make oatmeal cream pies:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Beat butter and brown sugar in stand mixer on medium speed around 2 minutes.
3. Add egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Add the oats and combine.
4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
5. For the filling, beat butter and vanilla together about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Gently fold in the marshmallow cream.
