½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
For the Cream Filling:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
-
½ cup marshmallow fluff (optional, for extra fluffiness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until fully combined.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
-
Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 3: Bake the Cookies
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 4: Make the Cream Filling
-
In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth.
-
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, then mix until light and fluffy.
-
For extra fluffiness, mix in the marshmallow fluff.
Step 5: Assemble the Oatmeal Cream Pies
-
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
-
Pipe a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
-
Place a second cookie on top, pressing lightly to sandwich them together.
-
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
