I love oatmeal desserts.  Ben & Jerry’s Oat of This Swirled ice cream flavor has been my favorite since it came out.  I often make oatmeal cream pie sandwich cookies but you have to make a ton of cookies and then end up with half when you sandwich them together.

I decided to invent the oatmeal cream pie cookie cup and I am very happy with the results.  This recipe is super easy to make and the cookies are very filling.  I promise to type up the mini version soon!

Supplies:

Mixing Bowls (medium and large)

Measuring Cups

Measuring Spoons

Mixer 

Muffin Tin

Shot Glass

Cooling Rack

Piping Bag (optional)

Piping Tips (optional)

Basic Directions (see recipe below for specific amounts):

Preheat the oven to 350.  Start by mixing the dry ingredients (including spices) together in the medium-sized bowl.

In the large mixing bowl beat the butter and sugars together.  Then add the eggs, vanilla, and molasses.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until fully combined. The dough will be wet and sticky.

Spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Roll the dough into balls and place into muffin tin.

Bake for ~12 minutes.  The middle of the cups will be soft.  Use a shot glass to create a well in each cup and then let the cups cool fully in the muffin tin. When completely cooled pop the cookie cups out of the muffin tin (I used a fork) and place on a cooling rack.

Make the filling by beating the butter and powdered sugar together.  Next, add the vanilla and two tablespoons of heavy cream.  Continue to add heavy whipping cream (one tablespoon at a time) until you reach the desired consistency.  At this point, you can either spoon the filling into each cup or pipe the filling in.

Hope you enjoy these fun cookie cups as much as I do!
