- Stir until evenly combined.
- Spread the mixture flat on the baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 155°C (310°F) and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The goal is to crisp up the oatmeal.

- Using a round mold, portion about 25g of the oat mixture per cookie.
- Press firmly to shape and set.
- Place all shaped cookies in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerator for 1 hour until the chocolate sets and firms up.
- While the oat cookies are chilling, make the filling: combine 300g cream cheese, caster sugar, and milk powder.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 3 portions. To one portion, add 30g melted dark chocolate and stir until combined.
- To the second portion, add 12g pistachio paste and stir until combined.
- To the third portion, add 30g strawberry jam and strawberry powder, stir until combined.
- Transfer each filling into a piping bag and set aside.
- Take one oat cookie, pipe the cream cheese filling on top.
- Sandwich with another oat cookie on top. Place in the refrigerator or freezer to set.
- Once firm, seal in bags for storage. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for the best texture.
- Packaged this way, they look beautiful whether gifting or selling.
