Oreo Cinnamon Rolls
Oreo Cinnamon Rolls combine the classic flavors of cinnamon rolls with a rich twist of crushed Oreo cookies and black cocoa powder. The soft, fluffy dough is layered with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a buttery filling, creating a decadent treat.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast 1 packet
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup warm milk 100-110°F
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
For the Filling:
- 2 cups Oreo cookies crushed into crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk adjust as needed for consistency
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Extra crushed Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Wait for 5 minutes until it’s foamy and bubbly.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually incorporate flour into the mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Mix crushed Oreos, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Stir until it forms a thick, spreadable paste.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
- Evenly distribute the Oreo filling across the rolled-out dough, leaving a ½-inch border along the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and allow them to rise for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven to 375°F.
- Bake Rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Make the Frosting
- Mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of milk in a bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk to your desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls for a gooey, indulgent topping.
Notes
For the best Oreo Cinnamon Rolls, ensure the dough is soft and not sticky before rising. Use room temperature butter for smooth spreading and avoid tearing the dough. Adjust the amount of cinnamon, black cocoa powder, and Oreo crumbs to suit your taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently for a fresh-from-the-oven experience.
