I've made these several times to take to work and they are requested all the time. The chewyness of the cookie and cream go perfect together. Cookies are also great plain, the flavor is delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

So yummy! My kids loved them with the cream inside but I enjoyed the cookies plain even more!

These were wonderful. I didn't go overboard with the cream inside and they were just right.

These were absolutely delicious, both as sandwich cookies and as individual oatmeal cookies! They're definitely reminiscent of the Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies, but I found these to be much better! Do keep a careful eye on them while baking. I left my first batch in the oven a tad too long and they turned out crispier than I intended.

Delicious cookie, tastes like little Debbie brand.

These were ok...mine were crispy so I must have over-baked them. They were good, although I might add some coconut, to the cookie, next time for a little more flavor.

I couldn't have dairy, so I made the filling with vanilla rice milk, and it turned out just fine.
