Notes

Storage

Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them. Place the chewy oatmeal cookies in an airtight container (or ziptop bag) with pieces of parchment paper between layers. Store them at room temperature for 3-4 days. Or store them in the freezer for up to 4 weeks. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Oatmeal Cream Pie

First, make the fluffy buttercream frosting to use as a filling. Mix 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of shortening until smooth. Then, mix in 1/2 cup of marshmallow cream. Next, slowly stir in 2 cups of powdered sugar. Now mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of mix. Then, stir in 2 additional cups of powdered sugar. Finally, beat the fluffy buttercream until smooth. Spread some frosting on the bottom of a cookie and top it with a second cookie. Gently squeeze the cookies until the frosting reaches the edges.
