Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookies

Well Folks,

If you follow us on Instagram @freskiws, I'm sure you've seen our recent recipe video.

We thought over the Winter months leading up to our Spring 2023 Season we would try something new, sharing some of our favorite recipes.

Let's be honest, what do we LOVE just as much as Flowers ... FOOODD

So here is a recipe from the one & only Mrs. Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table Volume 2, cook book.

Trust me when I say these are the ABSOLUTE BEST, a lot of work, but well worth it.

Cookies

1 1/4 Cups Unsalted Butter, at room temperature

1 Cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

1 Large Egg, at room temperature

2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

1 Teaspoon Dark Molasses

1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

3 Cups Quick-Cooking Oats

Filling

3/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature

1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

2 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

1 Tablespoon Milk

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly beat in the egg, vanilla, and molasses and mix until smooth.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats until combines. On low speed, add the oat mixture to the creams butter mixture about 1/3 cup at a time, beat until combined.

4. Portion out your cookie dough, shaping into round dough balls about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

5. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

6. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time until lightly golden brown about 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool on a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes.

7. In a stand up mixer, cream together the butter on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in vanilla.

8. On low speed, slowly beat in the powdered sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time. Then beat in the milk. When thr mixture is smooth, increase the speed to medium, mixing until combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

9. Set the cookies up in pairs, add a generous scoop of filling to bottom side of one cookie, take the other and sandwich them together. Repeat to make the rest of the sandwiches.

And for the most important step ...

10. Don't just eat 1, stuff your face with them ALL !!!

Enjoy Folks !
