Is this recipe an exact replica of Little Debbie Oatmeal Crème Pies? No. These are better. Rather than thin cakes, we went for oatmeal cookies that pack an almost peanut-butter-like flavor without any nuts. The crème filling completely nails what we love about the prepackaged pies, but takes things further with an almost airy, marshmallow-based consistency. If that doesn't convince you, preparing these at home is just as quick (if not faster) than a grocery run.

Step 2
Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven until browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Step 4
Pipe or spread desired amount of crème onto half of cookies, and top with remaining half of cookies.

This recipe is stellar!!! The only thing I changed was adding a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a dash of cardamom on top of the buttercream before putting the top cookie on. Otherwise it is such a great recipe that I have to make it almost every week for friends and family!

Love this recipe! Completely happy with the results and the ease of making these. My cookies cooked 10-11 mins in the oven. I'm wondering if less cooking time would have given me a more soft cookie which would be more like the oatmeal cakes you buy. There was plenty of filing even though I honestly wondered if there would be enough after making it. I actually could have stuffed them more full of cream as I had some leftover. I didn't pipe the cream, just dabbed it on and gave the top cookie a twist to evenly spread it before pushing the 2 cookies together. Will absolutely be making these again. An instant hit at our house!

These will spread out a lot while cooking, so space accordingly.
