Oatmeal Cream Pies with Spice Cookie Layers

Oatmeal Cream Pies with Spice Cookie Layers are a delicious and indulgent dessert that will satisfy any sweet tooth. This recipe is perfect for those who love the combination of oatmeal and spice cookies. The dish is made up of two layers of soft and chewy oatmeal cookies, sandwiched together with a creamy filling.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

For the oatmeal cookies:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

For the spice cookies:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the cream filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed.
For the spice cookies, repeat the same process, but add in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and baking powder to the dry ingredients.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the cream filling, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
To assemble the oatmeal cream pies, spread a generous amount of cream filling onto the flat side of one oatmeal cookie. Top with a spice cookie, flat side down, and press gently to sandwich the two cookies together.
The appearance of these Oatmeal Cream Pies with Spice Cookie Layers is irresistible, with the golden brown edges of the cookies and the creamy filling oozing out from between them. The taste is equally as delicious, with the warm spices of the spice cookies complementing the sweetness of the cream filling and the chewy texture of the oatmeal cookies.
