Note
  • For best texture, use quick oats, not rolled oats.
  • Make them baby shower–themed by tinting the cream filling with pastel food coloring.
  • Use cream cheese instead of marshmallow fluff for a tangy twist.
  • Cookies stay fresh for 2–3 days in an airtight container. If using cream cheese, store in the fridge.
