Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the Dough
- In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and the milk mixture, then add softened butter. Knead until a soft dough forms, then cover and let it rise for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Roll Out the Dough
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
3. Add the Filling
- Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.
- Place Oreo cookies (whole or crushed) evenly across the dough, ensuring there’s an Oreo in each roll when sliced.
4. Roll and Cut the Dough
- Roll up the dough tightly from one edge to the other, then slice into even rolls, about 1-1.5 inches thick. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
5. Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow them to cool slightly before frosting.
6. Make the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add milk as needed to achieve a drizzly consistency. Spread or drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls.
Tips for Perfect Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
- Warm Dough: Make sure your milk isn’t too hot when activating the yeast, as this could kill it. Aim for lukewarm.
- Use Softened Butter: Softened, not melted, butter gives the filling its delicious gooey texture.
- Roll Tightly: Roll the dough tightly so the filling doesn’t leak out, and you get a nice spiral with each Oreo surprise tucked inside.
- Add Extra Oreos on Top: For added crunch, crumble some Oreos over the frosting for garnish!
Make It Your Own
- Double Stuff It: For extra Oreo flavor, use Double Stuf Oreos or add a layer of crushed Oreos in the frosting.
- Chocolate Glaze: Swap the cream cheese frosting for a chocolate glaze for even more decadence.
- Add Marshmallows: For a gooey, s’mores-inspired twist, sprinkle mini marshmallows with the Oreos.
