Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 3/4 cups (222 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) lightly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups (270 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups (313 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Directions
Make the cookies:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the oats with a rubber spatula.
-
Using a spoon or large spring-loaded scoop, drop 3-tablespoon sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a measuring cup.
-
Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make the filling:
-
Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth, about 5 minutes.
-
Spread or pipe the filling on half of your cookies and use the remaining cookies to sandwich. Serve or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.
These came out incredible!!! They’re super chewy and delicious! I even added a little fluff to the filling and it came out amazing!
Do you have a recipe Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?
Hi Tina! Feel free to use our Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and substitute the chocolate chips for raisins 🙂 Enjoy!
Delicious! Full disclosure, I used some leftover frosting from another recipe to fill these. But nonetheless, the cookies are delicious! So chewy and very sweet.
The cookies were super good. I’m not sure I would fill them again. Such a big sandwich and soooo sweet. But fun to try something new.
can this measurement be clarified please, 1 1/2 sticks of butter does not equal to 170 grams. Which one is should i do for the recipe?
Thank you 🙂
Hi Laura! There are 113 grams in one stick of butter, so 170 grams in 1 1/2 sticks of butter. You can follow either measurement for these cookies. Hope you enjoy your oatmeal cream pies!
The creme is a little sweet but its yummy
Super good cookie. I would make just the cookie and eat it it’s so good. They are super sweet though with the icing so I would rather make a bunch of smaller ones because I have a hard time eating even half of one this big due to the sweetness.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Amanda! With oatmeal cookies, you want to be careful using a 2 tsp scoop or smaller as you run the risk of the cookies drying out and crumbling due to the oatmeal soaking up all the moisture, so make sure to bake for a couple minutes less depending on the size scoop you use 🙂
sorry for my silly comment about printing….. I hadn’t noticed you already have this button…. (forget my comment)
So excited for you to try these! Please let us know what you think 🙂
Iíll try to bake them this weekend, they look so yummy…. I am not american, I am European (Portuguese) so I’m not familiar with these cookies, but I am dying to taste them…. thanks for sharing… By the way is there a PRINT button? It makes things so much quick and easier to print and copy to keep the recipe in my recipe dossier for further bakings
These cookies were amazing! I added 1/4 cup if dried cranberries because I’m looking at making something like this for Thanksgiving!
If I make these again, I’ll cut the cookie size in about half because they make ginormous cookie sandwiches! My husband thought they were perfect size though!
Oooo adding cranberries would make them that much chewier, delish!! So happy you both enjoyed this recipe 🙂
These were super easy to make with ingredients I had laying around the kitchen. I tend to make bigger cookies (not like that’s a bad thing ) so I ended up getting 16 cookies so 8 sandwiches and then cut those in half to bring to work for everyone. I’m not kidding when I say I intended to only have one bite and ended up eating three. Everyone at work loved them and said they put the little Debbie ones to shame.
Amazing! So happy to hear that! I agree, this homemade version is SO SO good! Thanks so much for sharing, Alyssa 🙂
