Oatmeal Cream Pies are always a crowd pleaser. This recipe will make one much better and more memorable than the plastic wrapped ones purportedly made by some little lady…

Ingredients

• Cookies
  • 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• Frosting
  • 1 cup Shortening
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp almond extract

Instructions

• Beat brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Then mix in vanilla and eggs
• Mix flour, salt, baking soda, and oats, then add into the wet ingredients and mix until combined
• Divide the mixture and place into 2 greased #8 Cast Iron Skillets (You can definitely use different sizes but you will have to adjust your cooking time)
• Place cookies in a 325-degree oven for approximately 20-25 minutes
• This is when I make the frosting…
• Cream shortening,  vanilla, and almond for Add in sugar in small batches. If your mixer struggles too much you can add a small amount of milk but not very much at all because you want this to be firm enough to support the weight of a huge, dense cookie.
• Let the cookies cool for 10-12 minutes in the skillets before turning them out onto a cutting board
• Let the cookies completely cool then put the bottom one onto a plate with the larger side up. Ice the top of the cookie then place the other one onto it with the larger side down, facing the frosting.
• Amaze your family and friends!
