What Makes These Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies So Special?

The magic lies in their holiday twist. Regular oatmeal cream pies are comforting on their own, but adding a touch of eggnog and spice transforms them into a seasonal favorite. The filling gets a boost from nutmeg, cinnamon, and real eggnog, while the cookies keep their classic chewy texture with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. You don’t need to wait until December to enjoy the flavors of the season with these little gems.

Ingredients for the Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies

Old-Fashioned Oats: These give the cookies their signature hearty texture. Don’t substitute with quick oats – you want that chewy bite.

Brown Sugar: It brings deep molasses notes and keeps the cookies soft and moist.

Butter: Use unsalted butter for richness and control over the salt level.

Eggs: Bind the dough and add softness to the cookies.

Flour: All-purpose flour works best here for structure.

Baking Soda & Salt: Essential for leavening and balance.

Cinnamon & Nutmeg: These warming spices infuse the dough with that cozy holiday essence.

Vanilla Extract: Rounds out the flavor in both the cookies and the cream filling.

Cream Cheese: Forms the base of the dreamy filling.

Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and thickens the cream filling to perfect piping consistency.

Eggnog: The star of the filling. It adds flavor and smoothness.

How To Make the Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar

Start by beating the butter and brown sugar together until fluffy and light. This step ensures a tender cookie texture.

Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Crack in the eggs and splash in the vanilla. Beat until well incorporated.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This blend gives the cookies their spiced, hearty flavor.

Step 4: Mix and Chill

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for easier handling.

Step 5: Scoop and Bake

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges. Let cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Eggnog Filling

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, eggnog, vanilla, and spices. Beat until light and fluffy.

Step 7: Assemble the Cream Pies

Pipe or spoon the eggnog filling onto the flat side of one cookie and gently sandwich with another.

Storing and Serving These Holiday Treats

Serve these pies at room temperature to enjoy the softest texture and fullest flavor. They make a festive finish to any winter dinner or an irresistible sweet bite alongside coffee or hot cocoa. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let them sit out for 10 minutes before serving to soften the filling.

What to Serve With Easy Spiced Eggnog Oatmeal Cream Pies?
