If you grew up loving those classic Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, you’re going to fall hard for this homemade version — but even better because it’s made from scratch, no preservatives, and boneless (which means no raisins or nuts sneaking in to ruin that perfect bite).

Today, I’m sharing my go-to Boneless Oatmeal Cream Cookies Recipe — a soft, chewy cookie packed with warm cinnamon, rich maple syrup, and dark brown sugar, all hugging a light, fluffy vanilla cream filling. It’s the perfect cozy treat to bake on a weekend or anytime you’re craving something sweet and nostalgic.

Why “Boneless”?

Before we dive in, you might be wondering — what exactly makes these cookies “boneless”? It’s a fun way to say: No raisins. No nuts. Just pure cookie perfection. We’re skipping the usual mix-ins so you get that soft oatmeal cookie texture without the unexpected crunch or chew of anything extra.

These cookies are perfect for anyone who: Loves a classic oatmeal cookie without the fuss, craves a rich, buttery cream filling and wants an easy homemade version of the iconic oatmeal cream pie 🙂

Ready? Let’s get baking!

Boneless Oatmeal Cream Cookies Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for both the cookies and that dreamy cream filling. Simple pantry staples, but combined? Magic.

Cookie Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour
• ⅔ cup (70g) quick oats (for that perfect chewy texture)
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup (165g) dark brown sugar, packed (for deep, caramel flavor)
• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adds richness and depth)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream Filling Ingredients:

• ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for that ultra-creamy texture)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Make Oatmeal Cream Cookies (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. You’ll want your butter softened for both the cookies and the cream, so set it out early.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• All-purpose flour
• Quick oats
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Salt

Set this bowl aside. This mix is what gives your cookies that perfect soft chew without becoming cakey.

Step 3: Cream the Butter & Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together:

• Softened butter
• Dark brown sugar
• Granulated sugar

Beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential — it creates those air pockets that make your cookies perfectly soft.

Step 4: Add Egg, Syrup and Vanilla

Once your butter and sugars are creamed, add:

• Egg
• Maple Syrup
• Vanilla extract

Mix until everything is fully combined. The maple syrup deepens the flavor and adds moisture, giving these cookies that classic oatmeal cream pie richness.

Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry

Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet, just until combined. Don’t overmix — you want the dough soft but not tough.

Step 6: Scoop & Bake

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten the tops slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft — they’ll set as they cool.

Step 7: Cool Completely

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They need to cool completely before you add the filling (trust me, it’s worth the wait).

Making the Cream Filling

While your cookies cool, it’s time to whip up the dreamy filling.

Step 1: Beat the Butter

In a clean mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth — about 2 minutes.

Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar

Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing slowly at first (unless you want a powdered sugar explosion!) until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add Vanilla & Cream

Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, then beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is fluffy and spreadable — about 2-3 minutes.

Pro Tip: If your filling feels too thick, add a tiny splash more cream. If it’s too thin, add a little extra powdered sugar until you get that perfect fluffy texture. I also let this sit in the fridge and let the cookies cool down before assembling them together, otherwise your cookies will melt 🙂

Assemble the Oatmeal Cream Cookies

Now comes the fun part — making those sandwich cookies!

1. Match your cookies into pairs based on size.
2. Spread or pipe a generous layer of cream filling on the bottom side of one cookie.
3. Top with the second cookie and gently press to spread the filling to the edges.

Repeat until you’ve got a tray full of dreamy, cream-filled oatmeal cookies!

First Stop: Stocking Up on Stockings

Decorating your home for Christmas is a process, and sometimes that process means a quick (or not-so-quick) trip to Target. Let me tell you, Target is the place for affordable, chic Christmas decor. Sure, it might not have the massive selection of Hobby Lobby, but for price, convenience, and style, it’s a winner.

We originally picked up two stockings, but I quickly realized we needed four to balance things out. Stockings are such a staple of holiday decor—they instantly make your space feel cozy and festive.

Quick Stocking Styling Tips:

• Stick to a color theme like red and white or rustic neutrals.
• Add name tags or initials for a personal touch.
• Stuff them with faux greenery or candy canes for extra flair.

A Tree to Remember: The Star of the Living Room 🌟

This year, we opted for an all-red ornament theme on our Christmas tree, and it turned out so beautiful. There’s just something timeless and elegant about a monochromatic palette. Our tree—a gorgeous 7-foot cashmere pre-lit beauty from Target—was the perfect size for our living room. Even with nine-foot ceilings, we decided not to go too tall because we wanted the tree to complement the space, not overpower it.

Here’s why I’m obsessed with this tree:

• Pre-Lit Convenience: Save yourself the hassle of stringing lights!
• Cashmere Texture: It gives the tree a lifelike, natural look that feels extra magical.

Decorating Tips for a Stunning Tree:

1. Start with your lights (if the tree isn’t pre-lit).
2. Add large statement ornaments first for balance.
3. Layer smaller ornaments in complementary colors for depth.
4. Finish with a tree topper that ties the theme together—ours is a rustic star that I’m absolutely in love with.

Deck the Halls (or the Faux Fireplace) 🎁

If you have a faux fireplace like we do, don’t forget to give it some love! We decorated ours with garland at the top, creating a clean and balanced look that didn’t overpower the space. Paired with our Target stockings, it made for a simple yet elegant holiday focal point.

Garland Decorating Ideas:

• Add battery-powered fairy lights for a soft glow.
• Weave in pinecones, berries, or faux snow for texture.
• Use command hooks to secure it without damaging surfaces.

Festive Touches Around the House ✨

While the tree is the star, don’t stop there! Little festive touches throughout your home can make all the difference. We already had a centerpiece on our dining table, so adding holiday accents was a breeze.

Easy Holiday Decor Ideas:

• Swap out regular throw pillows for holiday-themed ones.
• Add mini wreaths to cabinet doors or backs of chairs.
• Place candles in festive holders on your coffee table or nightstands.
• Fill a clear vase with ornaments or fairy lights for a quick centerpiece.

The Joy of Holiday Movies and Traditions

The holidays aren’t just about decorating—they’re about creating memories with loved ones. There’s nothing cozier than curling up with a good Christmas movie. This year, I started with Hot Frosty on Netflix (highly recommend!) and Meet Me Next Christmas. And of course, no holiday season is complete without some Hallmark classics.

Some of My Favorite Holiday Movies:

• A Christmas Prince (Netflix)
• The Holiday (classic vibes!)
• Christmas in Evergreen (Hallmark must-watch)
• Elf (because it’s always funny)

Comment below with your favorite Christmas movies—I’m always looking for new ones to add to my list!

Why I Love the Holidays 🎅

There’s just something magical about this season. The twinkling lights, the cozy nights in, the joy of being surrounded by family and friends—it’s all so warm and inviting. I love soaking in every little detail and making as many memories as I can.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with holiday prep, take a deep breath. Start with one area of your home, like the tree or the fireplace, and build from there. The key is to enjoy the process and let your personal style shine.

Wrapping It Up (No pun intended)

Decorating for the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful or overly complicated. With the right decor and a few thoughtful touches, you can create a space that feels festive, cozy, and uniquely you. Whether you’re team Hobby Lobby or Target (or both like me), the most important thing is to have fun and celebrate the season with the people you love.
