A Wonderful Story
Let me share with you the very first time I made these rolls. It was a lazy Sunday morning, and my husband was hankering for something sweet. I had a tube of cinnamon roll dough in the fridge and a half-eaten pack of Oreos in the pantry. Just for fun, I crushed the cookies, sprinkled them on the rolls, and put them in the oven.
The moment he took the first bite, his eyes lit up. “This is the best thing you’ve ever made,” he said—and he’s not one to exaggerate. Since then, these rolls have become a staple in our household. They’ve made appearances at brunches, birthday breakfasts, and even as a midnight snack after a long day.
The kids? They’re obsessed. Every time they see me pulling out the Oreos, they know what’s coming. It’s become one of those recipes that feels like a tradition, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
