Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp milk, to adjust consistency

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until it is comfortably warm to the touch (about 110°F). Stir in the active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs, and mix until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 16×12 inches in size. Spread the Oreo filling evenly over the surface, making sure to cover to the edges.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Starting at one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  6. Second Rise: Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each. Cover loosely with a towel and let them rise again for 15-20 minutes to puff up.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  8. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Add milk one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired frosting consistency.
  9. Frost and Serve: Drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm Oreo cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately for the best experience and enjoy your indulgent treat!

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative, but it may affect the texture slightly.
  • For extra gooey rolls, bake covered with foil during the last 10 minutes and remove foil before finishing baking to brown.
  • If you prefer a stronger Oreo flavor, increase the amount of crushed Oreos in the filling.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or oven for a fresh-baked taste before serving.
