Description

Indulge in the delightful combination of cookies and cream within these fluffy cinnamon rolls, topped with a creamy frosting and crushed Oreos for the perfect treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 packet activated dry yeast (7g)
  • 4 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour (560g)
  • ½ cup crushed Oreos (about 4 Oreos)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup crushed Oreos (about 7 Oreos)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened, 113g)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (for a runnier frosting)
  • 4 Oreos (crushed)

Instructions

  1. Combine warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Stir until yeast dissolves. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until a foam forms.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and stir. Make a well in the center and add the crushed Oreos, butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, and yeast mixture.
  3. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. Cover the bowl with a dish cloth and let it rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 18” by 24”.
  5. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1” border at the top. Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the filling.
  6. Roll into a log, starting at the long bottom edge. Cut into 12 equal rolls and arrange them in a buttered 9”x12” baking pan. Let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the heavy cream over the rolls. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan.
  8. Prepare the frosting by beating together butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese in chunks, vanilla, and cream, and beat until fluffy.
  9. Spread frosting over warm rolls and top with more crushed Oreos. Serve warm!

Notes

  • If the yeast doesn’t foam, discard and try again with fresh yeast.
  • For an overnight option, stop after cutting rolls and refrigerate before the final rise.
  • Ensure the butter for the filling is very soft, almost melting.
