Ingredients

Scale

Tiny Oatmeal Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Fluffy Cream Filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 (13-ounce) jar marshmallow cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch or two fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until combined thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until evenly combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure uniformity.
  5. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or small scoop, drop scant teaspoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space the cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart and stagger rows for even baking.
  6. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. This short baking time results in chewy but slightly crisp cookies.
  7. Flatten and Cool: Upon removing from the oven, gently tap the baking sheets on your countertop to flatten the cookies slightly. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Filling: Clean your mixer bowl and attach the whip attachment. Beat the unsalted butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue whipping on medium-high speed until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
  9. Incorporate Marshmallow Cream: Add the marshmallow cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the whipped mixture. Mix on medium speed until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
  10. Assemble Pies: Turn half of the cooled cookies upside down on a tray. Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of the cream filling onto each inverted cookie. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing gently to adhere and sandwich the filling.
  11. Chill: Place the assembled oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container or tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the cookies soften and the filling set properly.
  12. Store and Serve: Store the oat cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy as a delightful treat anytime!

Notes

  • Using room temperature ingredients ensures better mixing and texture.
  • Tap the baking sheets to gently flatten the cookies right after baking for the perfect shape and texture.
  • Chilling the pies overnight allows flavors to meld and gives a soft, creamy bite.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
  • If you prefer a stiffer filling, reduce marshmallow cream slightly or chill longer.
