Instructions

Let’s dive into making these decadent Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls!

Prepare the Dough: If you’re using store-bought dough, roll it out into a rectangle. If you’re making your own dough, follow your recipe’s instructions and roll it out on a floured surface. You want the dough to be thin enough to wrap around the Oreos.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure that all the sugar is coated in cinnamon goodness.

Stuff the Rolls: Lay your Oreo cookies on top of the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the dough, then roll it up tightly. Once rolled, slice the dough into even sections to create the cinnamon rolls.

Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the dish, leaving a little space between each roll.

Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: While the rolls bake, make the frosting. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little milk to reach your desired consistency.

Finish the Rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top of the warm rolls, letting it melt into all the nooks and crannies.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve these warm and gooey Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls as a sweet breakfast treat or an indulgent dessert. Get ready for a major flavor explosion!

Make Extra Frosting: If you’re a frosting lover, feel free to make extra to drizzle on each roll or even serve it on the side for dipping!

Use Different Cookies: Feel free to swap out the Oreos for other cookies like chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies for a fun twist.

Description

A decadent twist on classic cinnamon rolls, these sweet, fluffy rolls are filled with crushed Oreo cookies for a delightful burst of chocolatey crunch. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they combine the warm spices of cinnamon with the irresistible flavor of Oreos, all finished with a light drizzle of icing.

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough.
- Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even slices.
- Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Icing:
- While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Finish & Serve:
- Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

Ensure the milk is warm (around 110°F) to activate the yeast properly.
For an extra chocolatey kick, feel free to drizzle additional melted Oreo cream over the rolls.
Enjoy these rolls fresh out of the oven for the best texture and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
