Oatmeal cream pies were one of my favorite treats as a kid. We didn’t get them very often, but when we did, I had to fight my brother and sister for them. There is just something special about sweet, creamy filling sandwiched between two oatmeal cookies.

I don’t think I’ve had a store-bought oatmeal cream pie since I was a kiddo, but I haven’t forgotten about them. I decided to create my own holiday version of the classic: Oatmeal Cranberry Sandwich Cookies with White Chocolate Crème Filling.

Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

For the White Chocolate Buttercream:

Instructions
 

  • 1. To make the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • 3. Using a mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until smooth and creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the oats and dried cranberries.
  • 4. Roll cookie dough into tablespoon size balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for two minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • 5. While the cookies are cooling, make the white chocolate buttercream. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until chips begin to melt, about 1 minute. Stir and repeat, heating chips about 10 seconds at a time, until thoroughly melted. Stir until chocolate is smooth and no more lumps remain. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in half of the powdered sugar, melted white chocolate, vanilla and milk until mixture is smooth and creamy.Slowly beat in remaining powdered sugar until smooth; if frosting is too stiff, add in a little more milk.
  • 6. To make the sandwich cookies, spread or pipe white chocolate buttercream on the inside of one cookie. Top with another cookie. Continue making sandwich cookies. Store cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature.
  • Note-you may have extra buttercream, depending on how much you add between each cookie. You can keep the leftover buttercream in the fridge for up to a week.

  1. Maria, I made these for a cookie exchange, and they were phenomenal! I doubled the recipe to for 24 sandwiches. I didn’t double the filling, and I still had plenty! My hubby & I loved them, as well as everyone who tried them. Great recipe!!!

  2. I healthified this recipe somewhat by swapping the flour for spelt flour (increased 1/4 cup), brown sugar for coconut sugar and half the butter in the frosting for Greek yogurt. These turned out delicious and my family loved them!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

  3. Love these cookie sandwiches! The cookies are excellent by themselves and the white chocolate buttercream is a great addition. Thanks for sharing the recipe! My friends and I thank you!

  4. 5 stars
    This is one of my favorite recipes, except I don’t make them as sandwich cookies. I just make as is and make a powdered sugar glaze that I drizzle on top. They remind me of the TJ’s cranberry dunkers, but of course chewy. Perfect for those who aren’t a fan of raisins, the sweet tartness of the dried cranberries is perfect. This is such an underrated recipe!
