CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. In small measuring cup, mix together heavy whipping cream and instant espresso powder. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, cream 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. On low speed, add eggs one at a time, until well combined. Add cream/espresso mixture and vanilla. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Add cocoa and stir in oats. Gradually add to creamed mixture in thirds and mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until set. Allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transfering to wire racks to cool completely.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the cornstarch, 4 TBS. cocoa, and water until smooth. Stir in 1 c. sugar and 4 TBS. butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and 1/2 tsp. instant espresso powder. Cool completely, stirring occasionally, before spreading on bottom half of cookies and topping with remaining cookies.

LACY CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Pour the melted butter into a bowl; 1 at a time, stir in the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate, stirring smooth after each addition.
• Use a 1/2-teaspoon measure to drop the batter on the prepared pans. Space the cookies about 3 inches apart in all directions, to allow room for them to spread. Bake the cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they have spread and are brown around the edges and lighter toward the center. Slide the paper or foil onto racks to cool the cookies.
• When the cookies are completely cool, peel them off the foil and arrange half of them bottom side up on a pan. Use a small offset spatula to spread about 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate on each inverted cookie. Top with another cookie, bottom to bottom. Store the finished cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
• Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
• If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
• Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
• Remove cover, stir and serve.
• Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.

OATMEAL MOVIE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
• Place another baking sheet, plate or airtight container in the freezer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, brown sugar, coconut oil, granulated sugar vanilla, cinnamon and salt in until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the oats and baking soda and mix to combine. Add the popcorn, chocolate-covered raisins, nonpareils and candy-coated chocolates. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in until evenly incorporated.
• Scoop 1/4-cup-sized balls of dough (about the size of a plum) onto the baking sheets 2 inches apart (see Cook's Note). Dot each cookie with a few pieces of popcorn and candy. Sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky salt, if desired. Bake until lightly browned and just set in the center, begin checking for doneness at 14 minutes. These cookies have a tendency to spread into uneven blob shapes in the oven, so I like to shape them back into circles as soon as they come out of the oven using an inverted bowl on top of the cookies to gently curve the edges back into alignment. Let cool on the pan completely (well, enjoy one or two while they're still warm but then let the rest cool on the pan).
• While the cookies cool, remove the ice cream from the freezer to slightly soften. Scoop 1/3 cup of ice cream onto the flat, bottom side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie and gently press down to flatten. Place the ice cream sandwich in the freezer on the cold baking sheet, plate or container. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
• Keep frozen until ready to enjoy!

OATMEAL CREAM PIES

Steps:

• For the oatmeal pies: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line 2 sheet pans with silicone mats or parchment paper.
• Combine the oats, flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream together the butter and brown sugar until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, molasses and vanilla extract and whip together until fully combined, about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Portion the dough into 16 balls that are about 3 heaping tablespoons each and space an inch apart on the sheet pans. Bake until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft and slightly underset, begin checking at 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the pans, about 15 minutes, then cool completely on a rack.
• For the filling: Cream together the cream cheese, butter and coconut oil in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth and light, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract and whip until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a heaping tablespoon-size blob of filling on the underside of a cookie, then sandwich with another. Eat immediately or refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes for the filling to firm up. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
