Monster Cookie Oatmeal Creme Pies

Ingedients
1 cup crunchy peanut butter (creamy would also work)
1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups M&Ms 
 
Directions
`Preheat oven to 350ºF.
`Mix the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat mix until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. 
`Mix together the oats, flour, salt, soda, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the M&Ms. 
`Bake 1/4 cup scoops on ungreased baking sheets for about 14 minutes or until they look done. Allow to cool before filling. 
 
Creme Filling:
2 egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


`Bring a shallow pot of water to a boil. Place all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl that can rest in the boiling pot without its bottom touching the boiling water. `Beat the ingredients until the bottom of the bowl is too hot to touch. 
`Remove the bowl and beat with the whisk attachment on your stand mixer for about 10 minutes or until fluffy and pretty stiff. You can also use a handheld mixer, but it will take longer. 
`Use filling to sandwich together the cookies.


Enjoy!!!
