These Oatmeal Cream Pies are a homemade version of a nostalgic lunchbox treat!
Goodies from the Good Old Days
Do kiddos still take oatmeal cream pies in their lunchboxes these days? If not, it’s a shame, and Baker might just bring the trend back when he starts school in a few years. But this Mama won’t be packing that store-bought version we’re all familiar with, I’ll be making these homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies that every kid in his class will be begging to trade for.
How to Make Oatmeal Cream Pies
First, preheat oven to 350°F. Then line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until fluffy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, beating until combined.
Drop cookies by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on pan for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
While cookies cool, prepare cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and butter. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
When cookies are cool, flip over and spread half of the cookie bottoms evenly with the filling. Top with a similar size cookie.
More Cookie Sandwiches to Smile About

They make for such a great breakfast, lunch or after school snack.
