Notes About Oatmeal Cream Pies

Fun Sized Review: Little Debbie’s Double Decker Oatmeal Creme Pie
  • Cookie Softness: The cookies will be very soft when you take them out of the oven. Thats okay, thats how theyre supposed to be, and thats what makes them super-soft to eat even days later.
  • Cool Completely: I cannot stress to you the importance of allowing the cookies to cool completely. If they are too warm the frosting will melt and you will be left with a melted cream cheese mess.
  • Proportions: Im all about the filling and frostings! So my coconut cream pies are filled with this cream cheese frosting. I use about 2 tablespoons of frosting per sandwich to get the maximum frosting to cookie ratio.

Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies

Soft, chewy oatmeal cookies sandwich a cream cheese frosting filling in these Oatmeal Cream Pies. This upgraded Little Debbie oatmeal creme pie recipe makes a delicious lunch-box treat, afternoon snack, or indulgent dessert that will take you back to all the best parts of childhood. Made with spiced molasses oatmeal cookies and a tangy cream cheese filling these sandwich cookies are totally addicting!

I have been a Little Debbie devotee since I was a teenager. I talked all about it when I made the Hostess Choco-Bliss Chocolate Snack Cakes, but to make a long story short, high school pretty much made up for all of the junk food that my mom kept out of the house when we were kids. My love for Little Debbie ran deep I found it incredibly hard to turn down Zebra Cakes, Nutty Bars, Swiss Cake Rolls or Oatmeal Creme Pies. With the exception of the occasional Swiss Cake Roll, I dont think that Ive had any of those treats since high school or college.

Since I thoroughly enjoy making homemade versions of my childhood favorites, from Homemade Twinkies to Hostess Cupcakes, I knew homemade oatmeal cream pies had to be on my list!
