In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir marshmallow fluff, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla together until it starts to come together. Give it some time to incorporate to a thick paste. Add milk sparingly 1 teaspoon at a time until you have a thick and creamy filling that will hold its shape. Transfer to a piping bag with a large round tip (I used the Wilton 1A).

Match cooled cookies together with similar sized partner cookies. Pipe about 2 tablespoons of marshmallow frosting onto the center of the bottom of a cookie. Press matching cookie onto the frosting to push filling towards the edges. Continue filling cookies until all 18 oatmeal cream pies are filled. Enjoy at room temperature.

About this Recipe
Craving that beloved nostalgic treat you grew up with, but elevated to homemade perfection? These Oatmeal Cream Pies bring back all the comfort of the classic, featuring soft, chewy oatmeal cookies cradling a luscious, creamy filling. Forget the store-bought versions; this recipe delivers authentic, comforting flavors that are simply irresistible.
What truly sets these Oatmeal Cream Pies apart is the exquisite balance between the tender oatmeal cookies and the perfectly sweet, fluffy frosting. The cookies boast a delightful chewiness, thanks to the combination of rolled oats, brown sugar, and softened salted butter, creating a depth of flavor that complements the creamy center. It’s a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that makes each bite pure bliss.
Prepare for a delightful sensory experience with these homemade pies.

The combination is utterly comforting and satisfying, evoking memories of simpler times. This is the ultimate sweet indulgence, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with loved ones.
While this recipe shines on its own, you can subtly customize it to your preference. The recipe calls for salted butter, which contributes to the overall flavor profile; however, if you only have unsalted, you can add a pinch more salt to the cookie dough. For the frosting, the milk amount is flexible (give or take 1 teaspoon), allowing you to achieve your desired consistency. You can also slightly adjust the vanilla extract in both the cookies and the frosting if you prefer a more pronounced vanilla note.
These Oatmeal Cream Pies are ideal for any occasion that calls for a comforting, sweet treat. They're perfect as a lunchbox surprise, an afternoon pick-me-up with a glass of milk, or a charming dessert to share at a potluck or family gathering. Present them simply on a platter and watch them disappear!
