“Little Debbie” Oatmeal Creme Pies from Scratch

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Place butter, sugars, egg and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes.)

Step 3

In a separate, medium-sized bowl combine the remaining ingredients, except for the oats. Toss to combine.

Step 4

Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add in the oats while mixing. If the mixture gets to thick for the mixer, add the remaining oats by hand.

Step 6

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray non-stick cooking spray on them. Place 1 ½ inch sized balls of cookie dough onto the sheets, spaced at least 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until edges of cookies begin to brown.

Step 8

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat butter, 2 c. powdered sugar, 2 T. heavy cream, vanilla and salt.

Step 9

Once thoroughly combined and smooth add in another 1 c. powdered sugar and 1 T. cream. Beat until smooth.

Step 10

Add in remaining sugar and cream and mix until completely smooth.

Step 11

Once cookies have completely cooled place 2-3 T. of crème filling on one cookie’s base and top with another cookie. Enjoy!
