Oatmeal Creme Pies that outclass Little Debbie’s.You normally couldn’t tempt me with an oatmeal cookie (that’s why you wont see me share an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe anytime soon!) but THESE….these Little Debbie knock-off Oatmeal Cream Pie cookies are swoon worthy! The oat cookie dough gives them the perfect chewy and soft texture, and we’ve paired them with a simple filling that’s so light and creamy. Everything about these Oatmeal Cream Pies is a YES.

How to make Oatmeal Creme Pies:
Make Cookie Dough: Whip butter until smooth then add sugars and mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla then mix until combined. Stir together dry ingredients (oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) and add to wet mixture, stirring until combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
Bake: Scoop dough into 1 Tablespoon-size balls (about 20 grams) and place on prepared sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before cooling on rack.
Mix Filling: Mix butter with electric mixers until smooth. Add powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons cream or milk, vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Add a little more milk, if it’s too thick, then mix for 2 more minutes until very light and creamy.
Assemble Cookies: Scoop a small dollop of frosting onto the bottom of one cookie then press a second cookie on top, to sandwich together. Enjoy!
