Ingredients

Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup butter soft
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • ***Let the cookies cool completely before filling them.***
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, 3 tablespoons milk and salt. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes or until nice and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick add in the remaining tablespoon of milk.

Assembly

  • Spread frosting on the flat side of one cookie then top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.

Notes

Tips:
  • Make sure the cookies are completely cool before filling with frosting. If they are even a little warm, the frosting will melt.
  • To make all your cookies the same size, make sure to scoop them evenly. I suggest using an actual cookie scoop instead of rolling the dough in your hands in this case, since you really want both cookies to be the same.
  • To keep the cream pies extra fresh, store them in an air-tight container. I really find that this makes a big difference in keeping them soft and chewy for longer.
Storage: Store in sealed container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
Make Ahead: Make the oatmeal cookies ahead and store them for up to 5 days in a sealed container. Then just fill with vanilla frosting when you're ready. OR make and fill the cream pies, then store them in a sealed container for 2-3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge. 
Freezer: Wrap each sandwich individually with plastic wrap, then store in a sealed zipper bag for up to 3 months.
