Good 'ol Fashion Oatmeal Cookie Pies!

I have to say... I am a sucker for the Little Debbie Oatmeal cookies with the cream filling! But after finding this recipe... I will never be buying those again. These cookies WELL SURPASS Little Debbie's version of them! Try them... you won't be disappointed.

Ingredients:
2 Cups Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Margarine
2 Eggs
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
3 Tablespoons of Hot Water
1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
2 1/2 Cups of Flour
2 Cups of Quick Oats


1 Regular Sized Jar of Marshmallow Fluff
1/2 Cup Shortening
1/3 Cup of Powdered Sugar
3 Teaspoons of Hot Water


1. Combine brown sugar and margarine until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each one.
3. Add cinnamon, baking powder, water, baking soda and flour. Mix well. Add in Oats last.
4. Drop tablespoon fulls of batter on to greased cookie sheet. Try to keep the drops of mixture in a "somewhat" ball shape so they come out circular.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. You want them to be lightly brown on the bottom but still have a chewy texture.
6. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on pan. Carefully remove from pan and allow to cool completely on cookie rack.
7. Mix filling ingredients. Add more powdered sugar if you would like the filling to be thicker.
8. Place filling in a large zip lock bag. Cut one corner of the zip lock bag... about 1/4 of an inch from the tip.
9. Squeeze filling from the zip lock bag on to the middle of the back side of a cookie. Place the back side of another cookie on top and gently push down until filling almost comes to the edge of the cookies.
10. Serve with a cold glass of milk :-)
