I grew up eating those Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies as a very special treat. I’m pretty sure they don’t taste nearly as good as they did when I was a kid – luckily we can make a copycat version right at home.
This recipe is multi step and takes a bit more effort than my usual recipes. But it is worth it! Just make the soft chewy oatmeal cookies. Whip up the fluffy filling. Then put them together for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
Recipe Tips:
- Leftover homemade oatmeal cream pies will store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: wrap in plastic wrap then store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Do not to spread the filling all the way to the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out the sides once cookies are pressed together.
- Parchment paper is best but you can also spray the cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
- The butter should NOT be at room temperature but slightly softened. If the butter is too warm it will flatten the cookies when they bake.

Instructions

Let the cookies cool completely before adding the cream filling.
