Oatmeal Creme Pie Cookie Bars (Little Debbie Copycat)

Rather than go to the fussiness of making sandwich cookies to recreate the classic Little Debbie cookies, I made bars that taste better than the original. Bars are so much faster and easier than cookies since there’s no dough to chill and nothing individual to roll. The bars are soft, very chewy, not at all cakey, and perfectly dense. Use quick-cook oats rather than old-fashioned for the perfect amount of chewiness. There’s molasses and cinnamon for extra depth of flavor and the frosting is truly the icing on this cake and makes the bars taste authentic. You can halve the frosting portion if you’re not a huge frosting person. It’s buttercream frosting spiked with a jar of marshmallow creme and makes the bars taste truly authentic. It’s sweet, decadent, soft, fluffy, sticky, rich, and you’ll want to eat it by the spoonful.
