Ingredients
- For the Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- For the Vanilla Bean Cream Filling:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or extract)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until well combined.
3. 3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
4. 4. Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the rolled oats.
5. 5. Bake Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. 6. Make Filling: While cookies cool, beat softened butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, milk/cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
7. 7. Assemble Pies: Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous spoonful of cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, pressing gently to create your Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
