Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
For the Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10–12 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed
For the Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
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.
