They're called No Bake Cookies

I grew up calling them cream puffs. We bought them at the local bakery but I have a recipe that uses a choux paste--looks different but tastes pretty close to what I remember. Edit: if you'll let your mouse pointer hover over the second pic you posted, you'll see it is called "cream horn." Search the web or your favorite recipe site for cream horn or cream puff & you should find a recipe using choux paste.

Sounds like a no-bake cookie to me.

THe most common recipe is on the back of Quaker Oats canister.

they're also called nighty night cookies because you can just stick them in the oven at night and they're ready in the morning. Enjoy!!!
