These were such a tasty treat! I found the recipe on pursuit of homemaking and was so excited to try them out and they did not disappoint! They are big and delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness to satisfy any sweet tooth. I was worried about the frosting being too sweet but since the cookies have a mild sweetness, the frosting adds the sweet to the cream pie that it needs. I added pumpkin pie spice when making them to give them more of a fall taste and it was such a nice touch, I will definitely be making these again!

Reviews:

Tate: "these are SO good. the bomb. definitely could and will be eating the whole batch. they are creamy and sweet, and my new favorite treat you have made me. best thing to eat at midnight when I have a sweet tooth 5/5 ★"

Haysten: he thought these were very tasty, but a little hard to eat. they are a bit bulky for his little mouth and the oatmeal was a bit tough to chew. he still loved them (as he does most sweets!) 4/5 ★
