These might just be the best Oatmeal Creme Pies you’ll ever eat. Why eat little debbie store bought oatmeal sandwich cookies when you can have homemade.
Brown the butter in the cookie recipe and top them with flaked sea salt before sandwiching them with fluffy brown sugar marshmallow creme.
It’s fun to make marshmallow. Whip up the beautiful fluff. Slightly less sweet than frosting this creme has just the right texture and stickiness to hold our chewy oatmeal cookies together.
Just make sure you have piping bags in your kitchen. Piping is easier than spreading the marshmallow creme. Work quickly, piping the marshmallow creme onto the underside of one cookie, then immediately putting another on top so they stay stuck together. Be prepared to let them set at room temperature for 1-2 hours while the marshmallow firms up.
