A few months ago, I started sharing my baking adventures online. Since then, thousands of people have followed along, made my recipes, shared photos, and supported what has become one of my favorite creative outlets.

Today, I'm excited to share my very first digital cookbook: *Lunchbox Favorites*.

This small collection includes five homemade recipes inspired by the snack cakes many of us grew up loving:

🍪 Oatmeal Cream Pie Cookies
🥜 Peanut Butter Cream Pie Cookies
🍫 Fudge Round Sandwich Cookies
🌈 Cosmic Brownies
🧁 Hostess Cupcakes

One thing that will never change: my recipes will always be available for free in my social media captions.

This cookbook isn't about putting recipes behind a paywall. It's for those who would like to support my recipe creation journey and have all five recipes organized in one convenient place with photos, baking tips, and easy-to-follow instructions.

Whether you've made one recipe or have been following along since the beginning, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means more than you know.

I knew after making these once that they had to stay in the rotation.

Soft and chewy oatmeal cookies filled with a fluffy maple vanilla cream filling. They’re everything I loved about Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies growing up, but even better made from scratch.

A few tips before you start: let the dough rest so the oats can absorb moisture, chill the dough before baking, and make sure the cookies are completely cool before adding the filling. Slightly underbaking the cookies will give you that soft texture that makes these so good.

Oatmeal Cream Pies

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1. Whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla.
2. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until almost combined.
3. Mix in oats until the dough comes together.
4. Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture.
5. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 15–20 minutes.
6. Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
7. Cool completely before filling.

Maple Vanilla Filling

½ cup butter, softened
1¾ cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
1–2 tsp milk or cream, as needed

1. Beat everything together until light and fluffy.
2. Pipe onto one cookie and sandwich with another.

If you grew up loving Oatmeal Cream Pies, you need to try these.

Save this recipe for later and let me know if you’re team homemade or team Little Debbie.
