Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the canned pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; the dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking the Cookies
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies look set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Filling
- In a clean bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the marshmallow cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy and well combined.
Assembling the Cream Pies
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of the filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
Serving
- These cream pies are best served fresh but can be stored for later. Enjoy your delicious creations!
Notes
Store your Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the unfilled cookies in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature, prepare the filling fresh, and assemble.
