Soft Oatmeal Spice Cream Pies- using Raisin Puree

                    Oatmeal Cream Pies- Help! I can't stop eating them.

I have noticed, over the years, that my two favorite oatmeal cookie packages have an ingredient called raisin paste, I've tried to find it at the grocer and on the internet, no luck. So I decided to add a little boiling water to raisins and puree them in the blender, then altered my oatmeal cookie recipe, so I wouldn't wind up with a flat, oatmeal, disk thingee.
Then I noticed on the snack cake package that there was molasses and cocoa. (OK, I had a couple of those too... it was for the sake of science!)
The cream filling I used was fluffier than the packaged ones. I added more confectioners sugar. (I think they use a butter-cream without butter, only shortening, just a guess, I'll try it next time.) But these were so good, I don't think the texture of the filling mattered in the least.
They came out a bit spicier than I had intended, but my family told me not to change a thing. (while they were devouring the last of my precious-es)
They were snatching these up as fast as I could fill them, so I'm not sure how many this recipe makes, but apparently... not enough.  At least a dozen filled pies.
