I like to have baked items on hand and the supply of them has run out, so that means I need to bake again. I had a bunch of oats that I had gotten as part of a gas deal at Giant awhile back and decided to try to find a recipe that would use some of them up. I found this Oatmeal Cream Pie recipe and mixed up a batch.
Oatmeal Cream Pies
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1¼ cups flour
- 1½ cups oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 /2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Marshmallow Filling:
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 7-ounce container marshmallow creme
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add the to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Use an ice cream scoop to drop dough balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If you do not have an ice cream scoop, make them into 1 tablespoon sized balls.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Make the filling by creaming together the butter and marshmallow creme. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Add a generous scoop (I used the same scoop that I used to measure out the dough) of filling to half of the cookies.
- Add another cookie to the top and there you have an oatmeal cream pie.
- I wrap each individual cookie in Saran Wrap. This makes them mess free to store and also perfect for lunch boxes.
- Makes approx. 16 cookies.
Thanks, Baked Bree for the recipe!
