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.

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.
