Soft and chewy oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with a fluffy vanilla cream filling. These nostalgic oatmeal cream sandwich cookies are a delightful homemade version of a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Oatmeal Cookies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • For the Cream Filling:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  6. Stir in rolled oats.
  7. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  9. Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the cream filling, beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon cream. Beat until fluffy, adding more cream if needed for spreadable consistency.
  11. Spread or pipe filling onto the flat side of half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches.

Notes

  • Make sure cookies are fully cooled before adding the cream to prevent melting.
  • Store sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for best texture.
  • You can freeze unfilled cookies and assemble just before serving.
