These Maple Mummy Oatmeal Cookie Cream Pies are fun and easy to decorate. Soft oatmeal cookies sandwiched with maple buttercream and look like mummies.

This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek!
I was sent products by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions, bad grammar, and overuse of emojis are 100% mine.
In this post I used Dixie Crystals Sugar granulated sugar as well Wilton Candy Eyes which were sent to me free by both companies for participating in #HalloweenTreatsWeek.
As we wrap up #HalloweenTreatsWeek I just want to give a big shout out to Angie of Big Bear’s Wife for putting on another very fun treats week!
It’s a lot of work to organized one of these and Angie does a fantastic job!
We are always excited to participate in these weeks just because they are so well run and just for the fun of blogging!

It is the last day of #HalloweenTreatsWeek and I’m a little sad.
I’ve had fun stepping out of my normal treats to make Halloween themed ones.
These Maple Mummy Oatmeal Cookie Cream Pies are my last contribution.
I’m not reinventing the wheel here.
The mummy cookies have been around for awhile but they are usually just sugar cookies.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good sugar cookies but it’s been done.
A lot.

So I decided to go oatmeal maple.
Then I decided that oatmeal cream pies would be even better.
I was right. 🙂
One big thing I learned was to make them sandwich cookies BEFORE you frost the mummy part.
I did not do that and it took forever for me to wait to smoosh the two cookies together.

Do I have to use Vegetable Shortening? Why not butter?
Sure, butter is going to taste better than vegetable shortening.
BUT butter is also going to make your mummies have a yellow hue.
Which is probably more anthropologically correct that they be a little yellow but most like the look of white better.
So break down and buy those Crisco sticks. 🙂
Do I have to make them as cream pies?
You certainly can just make these as mummy cookies and not have them filled.
If you went that route then you need to make sure that you double the frosting amount to decorate the mummies.
As you will now have double the amount of cookies to frost if you don’t make them into pies.
