Homemade Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie Cookies

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A copycat version of the classic Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie, featuring ultra‑soft, slightly chewy oatmeal‑molasses cookies sandwiched with a fluffy marshmallow‑style filling. The recipe mimics the original’s subtle molasses‑raisin flavor while adding a hint of warm spice and a golden hue from turmeric. Makes 12 sandwich cookies (24 individual cookies).
