Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup butter Earth Balance vegan butter works perfectly here!
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs or egg substitute equivilant see Recipe Notes above!
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raisins optional

For the filling:

  • 1/2 cup butter Earth Balance works great for icing too!
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk, as needed I use almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the rolled oats and raisins (if using).
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the filling, beat the butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Asemble the oatmeal cream pies: once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the filling onto the bottom of one cookie.
  • Top with another cookie, bottom side down, and gently press down to sandwich the filling between the two cookies.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
