They’re the perfect twist on a nostalgic treat. Inspired by classic oatmeal cream pies, this version brings the warm flavors of pumpkin spice season to life.

Why You’ll Love This Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pie

These cookies check all the boxes: chewy texture, bold fall flavor, and a sweet cream center that brings everything together. The pumpkin makes them incredibly moist, while the oats provide a hearty chew that feels satisfying and wholesome. And the spiced aroma while they bake? Irresistible.

What Kind of Oats Should I Use?

Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best choice here. They hold their texture during baking, giving you that chewy bite oatmeal cookies are known for. Quick oats tend to break down too much, making the cookies a bit too soft and cakey for the sandwich style we’re going for.

Ingredients for the Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

When it comes to cozy seasonal bakes, the ingredient list matters. Each element in these cream pies plays a role in delivering texture, flavor, and that signature softness.

• Unsalted butter
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Pumpkin puree
• Egg
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Old-fashioned oats
• Cream cheese
• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup

How To Make the Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients. Once combined, stir in the old-fashioned oats until evenly mixed.

Step 3: Bake the Cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until just set around the edges. Let them cool completely before filling.

Step 4: Make the Filling

Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract, then whip until creamy.

Step 5: Assemble the Cream Pies

Pair up cookies of similar sizes. Spread or pipe the cream cheese filling onto one cookie and gently press another on top to make a sandwich.

How to Store and Serve Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies

These cream pies are best kept chilled due to the cream cheese filling. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you’re serving them at a party or gathering, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before enjoying for the softest texture.

This recipe makes about 12 sandwich cookies, perfect for a cozy dessert spread or gifting to fellow pumpkin spice lovers.
