These soft, creme-filled sandwich cookies were the first snacks
produced by McKee Foods back in 1960. It was his 4-year old
granddaughter Debbie after which founder O.D. McKee named his line of
snack cakes. O.D. was inspired by a picture of the little girl in
play clothes and a straw hat, and that's the image we still find
today on every package. The secret to cloning these mouth-watering
snacks is re-creating the soft, chewy consistency of the oatmeal
cookies. To duplicate the texture, the cookies are slightly
underbaked. Then you whip up some of the easy-to-make creme filling
with marshmallow creme and spread it between two of the oatmeal
cookies to complete the sandwich. Next stop, yum city!

Preheat oven to 350?F.

In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugars, molasses, vanilla,
and eggs.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix in the oats.

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for
10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are just starting to darken around
the edges. They will still appear moist in the center. Be careful not
to overcook--when cooled, the cookies should be soft and chewy.

While the cookies bake, prepare the filling. Use a small bowl to
dissolve the salt in 2 ts very hot water. Set this solution aside to
cool.

Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and
vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high
speed until fluffy. Add the cooled salt solution to the filling
mixture and combine with the mixer.

Assemble each creme pie by spreading the filling over one side of a
cookie (the flat side) and press another cookie on top, making a
sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cookies and filling.
