Ingredients

Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies:

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (166 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams) (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (158 grams) (I used dark)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2½ tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1⅓ cup rolled oats (about 133 grams) (I used quick oats, large old-fashioned oats work too)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (112 grams) (softened)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (112 grams) (brick style, full fat)
  • 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar (165 – 275 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon whipping cream (if needed, half and half works too)

Instructions

  1. Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamed. Mix the molasses, vanilla, and egg into the butter mixture until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Gradually mix together, starting with the mixer on a low speed. Stir in the oats. Scoop the dough into balls and bake. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets.
  2. Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Then mix in the cream cheese. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat in the rest of the powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. If needed, mix in cream.
  3. Assemble: Frost the bottom of one fully cooled cookie with frosting, then place a second cookie on top.

Notes

  • You can store these cream pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices in the cookies to suit your taste preferences.
