The Holiday Version of Oatmeal Cream Pies: Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies

[@shrinkinghourglass]

I made these for our church potluck and to give away in treat boxes. People raved about them! Thank you so much for bringing us amazing recipes time and time again. Merry Christmas to you and your family 💖

[@SugarSpunRun]

That is so awesome! I love hearing about how much people enjoy my recipes. Merry Christmas to you too! 😊

Made a batch of these today--they are perfectly spiced and yummy! Happy Holidays!

Not a comment for this cookie, although it does look Amazing! Instead it is to tell you, you’ve done it again! In the last month, my daughter and I won two contests with your recipes (apple pie cheesecake and strawberry pop tart cookies) and now you saved us from a birthday cake disaster. Daughter tried a recipe for tres leches cake for a bday party. It was a flop. I scrambled to see if you, my trusted recipe provider, had something. Sure enough! Whipped out your tres leches cake last night, and it is successfully off to the party today. THANKS!!

Awww, Saucy! Love that name!! Lol at the appearance of Luke's head🤣😂 I'm going to have quite the cookie tray this year thanks to you! These look amazing!!❤

[@jorgepenastudios4518]

I love chocolate and cayenne everything!!! The cayenne pepper mixed with cinnamon and chocolate is one of my faves, it gives u a Hot Mexican Chocolate vibe! It is so good! I luv this recipe Sam, keep it up and Happy Holidays!

O my gosh Sam. These look so good. I would of made these this weekend but I was busy but I will next weekend! Could you make a normal oatmeal cream pie video? Like the ones you buy at the store. Those are so good and I would love to know how to make those.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I do have an oatmeal cream pie video for you. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHLKnoeel8aph7ssi=NATSRbI7nlwTh3DR

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you so must!😄

[@SisterShirley]

So delicious looking

[@julianneclark9051]

Can you use Ghirardelli candy melts for the buttercream?

[@lynnscroggins7104]

I made these and they were good! I messed up and used turbinado sugar. I think it made them too sweet. DIL sent a couple to school with the grandsons for their teachers. They want the recipe and a couple dozen! Guess I will be a busy baker again tomorrow😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

That is awesome! I am so glad they liked them! :)

[@SWGIRL831]

I made these. They taste great. But they didn't expand in the oven like yours. Also the dough was very crumbly. I am not sure what I did wrong. Love your recipes!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so sorry to hear that! Did you make any substitutions? It sounds like there may have been a touch too much flour in the dough. :(

[@christinehubbard2035]

Just made these and I want to keep them longer than the 3 days on the counter as the recipe states. Can I freeze them or refrigerate them?? And then get them out a day ahead so the buttercream thaws..? Or does that not work lol Any suggestions? ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. :)

[@christinehubbard2035]

@ thank you!

[@amyclark3977]

My cookies didn't come out flat. Is there anything specific that I can do to fix that? The cookies taste amazing and so does the filling! But just wondering how to get my cookies flatter 😁

[@SugarSpunRun]

Did you make any substitutions? Did you weigh your flour? There may have been just a touch too much flour in the cookies. :(

[@amyclark3977]

​@@SugarSpunRunso nice of you to reply! I did not make any substitutions and I did end up weighing all my ingredients. But maybe I weighed incorrectly. Everybody loved them and told me I needed to make them exactly the same lol. So I guess it didn't really matter. This is going to be my new go-to Christmas recipe. I'm making a small batch for each of my staff as gifts. And with cayenne pepper of course! I was hesitant. But you're right.. It's perfect. Thank you! Happy holidays! I found you on Instagram so I'll be making more of your treats!

[@ebrowne2027]

Would demerara sugar be good for rolling?

[@Miss1776-ic5ic]

Do these freeze well?

[@deepakdutt4771]

Sam could you please show us how to make gingerbread man cookies? Thank you 🙏😊.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes I can! I filmed this video a little while back: The Most Flavorful Gingerbread Man You'll Ever Have kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6S0l6mKpZp7nLs 😊

[@djyoutubeh3]

You know Sam you should enter in the Christmas cookie contest on the food network channel.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Seems like a lot of stress

[@irisavaglio4947]

Can I sub the molasses with honey?❤

[@pheona1164]

Hey, Sam. Long time follower making a cake and hoping you see this before the party. I am making one of your cakes for a work party. Because my oven runs hot, I will be using a simple syrup before crumb coating. Does simple syrup make the cake overly sweet? Maybe milk is better? ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hey! Honestly I never use simple syrups, is it possible to turn your oven down a few degrees or check the cake sooner? If not, I would expect the syrup to make the cake sweeter, but it’ll probably be fine overall (it’s a cake after all 😉). I think simple syrup would be better than milk

[@pheona1164]

@@SugarSpunRun This is why you are absolutely the best. Thank you! I'll work on the oven and get a couple of independent thermometers to place in there. Thank you!

[@sjenkins1057]

Chopping chocolate is much easier with a serated bread knife in my experience. :-) Have you tested these with a merenge based marshmallow filling?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thanks! And I have not but I have every confidence that it would be amazing! I have a marshmallow frosting video I’d recommend checking out!!

Hi Sam how are you I’m Laura I’m going to make these cookis

Have you or do you think these would be good with a gluten free flour?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have not tried it so I cant say for sure how it would work. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

@@SugarSpunRun I have two guests coming for the holidays with celiac so I’ll give these a try and let you know

[@beanie7547]

@ just made them and they are going over great with my family that are not celiac so I think my company next week will enjoy them. You never let me down with your recipes. Thank you. I used King Arthur 1:1 GF flour
