I saw that Little Debbie has unveiled a new treat  – the fudge rounds with vanilla cream filling (the cream filling is similar to what i use in the oatmeal cream pie cookies).  So i decided to make my own version.  My favorite little debbie treats were always the oatmeal cream pies and cosmic brownies.  These new one treats look pretty good too.

I think i made these a little too big, so i just cut them in half after I made the sandwich cookies.  Next time, I may add a little more flour and instead of flattening the doughs a little, I may just leave them puffy mounds so perhaps they won’t spread as much and be so large!

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also freeze or chill the individual doughs before baking.  And when ready to bake, preheat your oven to 326 degrees. 

• Ingredients list
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cups
• 3 eggs
• 1 tbs vanilla
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Scoop out quarter cups of dough and form tall cylinders.   Freeze or chill in fridge for a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 15 to 17  minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.   I placed mine in the fridge to help firm them up.

• Cream filling
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup crisco
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tbs heavy cream

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar.  Add heavy cream and vanilla.  Add more powdered sugar if you want filling a little thicker.
