Dough
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces
Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until slightly hot to the touch, then combine it with sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rises, mix softened butter with cinnamon and sugar to create the filling. Crush Oreos into small pieces, then fold them gently into the cinnamon sugar butter mixture.
- Assemble the Rolls: Once the dough has doubled, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Evenly spread the Oreo-cinnamon filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls spaced apart in a greased baking dish.
- Second Rise and Bake: Cover the rolls and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffed. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Frosting: Blend softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Frost and Serve: When rolls have cooled slightly but are still warm, generously spread the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your melty, gooey Oreo Cinnamon Rolls.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and tender dough.
- Do not over-knead the dough to keep rolls light and fluffy.
- Allow sufficient rising time for soft, airy rolls.
- Fold crushed Oreos gently into the filling to maintain texture.
- Spread frosting while rolls are warm for a luscious melted effect.
