The Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Cream Pie Recipe (Mini Cream Pies)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
 ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
 1 egg
 ½ cup light brown sugar
 ¼ cup white sugar
 1 tbsp vanilla extract
 1 ½ cups old fashioned whole rolled oats (not quick or instant)
 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 ½ tsp baking soda
  tsp salt
 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream Filling:
 ½ cup butter, softened
 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
 1 ½ tbsp heavy cream
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 pinch of salt

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1

Combine softened butter, egg, both sugars, vanilla and beat well until creamy.

2

Add in the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and beat until well combined. Then, stir in the chocolate chips.

3

Using a tablespoon scoop, measure out about 18-20 mini balls and flatten slightly. Place cookie dough balls into a bowl or on a tray, cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 5 days. These must chill, see note in post above.

4

Once the cookies have chilled, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cookie dough balls on the sheet and separate 2 inched apart. Bake for about 9 minutes or until edges and tops have set. Should be slightly pale. Let cool completely.

Cream Filling:
5

Beat butter on high until creamy. If using a stand or handheld mixture, beat on high for about 1 minute. Add in powdered sugar and beat on medium for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and the vanilla. Beat on high for 2 minutes or until fluffy. Add salt if desired.

6

If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon or 2 of heavy cream.

7

Speed about 2 teaspoons of cream filling on the bottom side of hand of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, right side up.

8

Store cookies at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Store in fridge after 2 days to keep cream filling very fresh.
