Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

Sometimes the classics just don't cut it. Sometimes you can't help but wonder why you would eat a regular chocolate chip cookie if you could eat one stuffed with Nutella and topped with sea salt. Sometimes you just can't help but wish your boring chocolate pint of ice cream had some peanut butter cups and caramel swirls mixed in. 

Sometimes you're craving cinnamon rolls full of Oreo cookie butter. And sometimes, you just have to give in, leave the basics behind, and make those Oreo cookie cinnamon rolls. That time is now. 

Ingredients:

-2 cups of whole milk

-1/2 cup of vegetable oil

-1/2 cup of granulated sugar

-1 package of active dry yeast

-4 & 1/2 cups of flour

-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

-2 teaspoons of salt

-1/2 stick of butter, melted

-1 cup of brown sugar 

-tons of cinnamon 

-one box of Oreos (or other chocolate sandwich cookies)

-1/4 cup of refined coconut oil

Recipe:

Oreo Butter-

-Throw a whole box of chocolate sandwich cookies into your food processor.

-Next add in your coconut oil.

-Process those babies for a few minutes.

-Make sure you take a break to scrape the sides and the bottom of the food processor.

-When the mixture is smooth with only some small cookie pieces left, it's ready to use.

Rolls-

-Find my lovely, detailed directions on making the fluffiest and most beautiful cinnamon roll dough in the world here.

-Once you reach the step where you roll out your dough, STOP. 

-Brush on some of your melted butter, but not too much. Use the photo below for reference, people!

-Now you can slather on as much of your cookie butter as you think is right. I advise laying on a thick coat. More is always better, if ya ask me. 

-Now sprinkle on your brown sugar and a heavy sprinkle of cinnamon

-Starting at the end farthest from you, begin to roll the dough towards you. Make sure it's very tight. Once you finish rolling, flip the log so that the seam is on the table.
-Now you can slice the log into 1-inch thick slices.

-Place each roll into a buttered pan, careful not to overcrowd them. 

-Cover the pan with a towel and let 'em rise for about half an hour.

-When that time is finally up, bake your buns for about 15-17 minutes.

-Let them cool- or don't- and eat them straight outta the pan! You could totally slather on some type of cookies and cream frosting or a simple glaze if you wish, but I think they're perfectly sweet, soft, and delicious all on their own.
