Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients
  

Wet ingredients

  • ½ cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar dark is great, but light also works!
  • ¼ cup blackstrap molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For cream pie middle

  • ¾ cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk to make the filling creamy

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add room temperature butter and brown sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat the butter and sugar together for 1 minute. Next, add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla and beat again until well combined, smooth and creamy, about 1 more minute.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low-speed just until combined. Chill dough in fridge for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use hands or a tablespoon to scoop a large tablespoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool the cookies on sheets about 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes about 30 cookies total (or 15 cookie sandwiches).
  • Once cookies have cooled, make the filling: Add room temperature butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to an electric mixer. Beat on low, then gradually increase speed to high for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  • Top one cookie sandwich with a spoonful of filling, leaving a nice edge, and top with another cookie sandwich, then gently press down. Repeat with all cookies to get about 15 oatmeal cream pies.
