Monkey bread is a classic recipe from Buzzfeed’s famous cooking channel Tasty, from the savory pizza version to tiny sweet cinnamon rolls.

Don’t know what monkey bread is? Think of pull-apart bread on steroids made with the filling of your choice. I’ve wanted to make monkey bread for a while but couldn’t decide on what filling to use. In the end, I decided to take the plunge and get the basic ingredients. After I bought the biscuit dough I surveyed my fridge and saw it … cookie dough.
