I promised several of you that I would post this recipe before this weekend, so here you go! These homemade oatmeal cream pie cookies were the star of my Christmas cookie party last weekend. I found the recipe on Pinterest but tweaked a few ingredients to make it my own.
One major change I made was to add cinnamon to the recipe. I actually didn't bake the cookies with the cinnamon in them because I didn't realize they needed cinnamon until after they were baked. So for my party last weekend, I simply sprinkled a cinnamon sugar mix on the top of the cookies. While that little mixture was good, I'm sure the cinnamon would be delish baked into the cookie!

brown and centers are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer
cookies to a wire rack; let cool.
6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the hot water
and the 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until salt dissolves. Add marshmallow
