Ingredients
Method
- Step 1: Whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until a shaggy dough forms. Now, get your hands in there and knead for 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Step 2: While the dough is rising, make the filling! In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with half of the crushed Oreos. Set aside.
- Step 3: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a 12x16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread the cinnamon-sugar butter evenly over the dough. Dollop the cream cheese-Oreo mixture on top of the butter, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the cream cheese mixture. Now, tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from a long side. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them – ovens vary!
- Step 5: While the rolls are still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with extra Oreo crumbs for that extra touch of deliciousness.
Notes
Feel free to experiment! Swap out the Oreos for other crushed cookies, like chocolate sandwich cookies or even Nutter Butters for a peanut butter twist. You could also add chocolate chips to the filling for an extra chocolatey indulgence. A sprinkle of chopped nuts would be amazing too!
