I found this recipe in a million places on the internet, so I thought that it had to be pretty good, and it is. Just like the little debbie ones. Oh man oh man.

Oatmeal Cream Pies

Oatmeal cream pies are the perfect little dessert to a homemade lunch.
Cute and delicious.

Ingredients:

For the cookies:
1 cup of margarine
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon of molasses
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups of quick oats

for the filling:
2 teaspoons of hot water
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 7 oz jar of jet puffed marshmallow cream
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup of powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl mix the margarine, sugars, molasses, vanilla and eggs.
Then add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Then mix in the oats.

Drop dough on a greased baking sheet. Make sure to leave ample room
between drops as these cookies spread.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutres or until the edges start to brown. Make sure
to not over cook because you want the cookies to be really moist.

After you take them out of the oven, let them rest for a minute or two
and then move to a cookie rack.

For the filling, dissolve the salt in the hot water. Then add the
marshmallow cream, sugar, and shortening. Mix until light and fluffly.

Spread the filling on one side of the cookie and press the second one
on top.  Enjoy.
