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 to activate the yeast, then combine it with the active dry yeast until foamy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt, then add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar, mixing well to create the aromatic sweet filling.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle about 16×12 inches on a floured surface. Evenly spread the Oreo cinnamon filling over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 even pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
  6. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls on a greased baking dish, leaving some space for expansion. Cover and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes until puffy.
  7. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls bake, beat together softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk slowly to achieve your desired consistency.
  9. Frost and Serve: Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly but are still warm, generously drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • For an extra gooey center, add a few more crushed Oreos between the spirals when rolling.
  • You can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it for a slow rise overnight.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Store leftover rolls covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
