Description
These Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies are soft, spiced cookie sandwiches filled with a fluffy cream cheese filling. Cozy, chewy, and perfect for autumn gatherings, they blend the best of pumpkin pie and nostalgic oatmeal treats into one irresistible bite.
Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Let butter and cream cheese come to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Use a medium cookie scoop to place dough on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
8. Meanwhile, make the filling: beat cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
9. Once cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe the filling on the flat side of half the cookies.
10. Top with the remaining cookies and gently press to sandwich. Chill before serving for best texture.
Notes
Let the cookies cool fully before adding the filling to prevent melting and mess.
For a firmer filling, add extra powdered sugar or chill it for 15 minutes before spreading.
