Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 10 Oreo cookies (crushed into chunks)

Frosting Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm, then mix in yeast and granulated sugar. Let it bloom for about 5-7 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add softened butter, eggs, and the milk-yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Filling: While the dough rises, crush the Oreo cookies into small chunks. In a bowl, mix softened butter with cinnamon and sugar until spreadable.
  3. Roll Out and Fill: Punch down the risen dough gently and roll it into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Evenly spread the cinnamon butter mixture over the dough, then sprinkle crushed Oreos generously on top.
  4. Roll and Cut: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice it into 12 equal rolls. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish, leaving small gaps between them.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Cover the rolls lightly and let them rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Prepare and Add Frosting: While the rolls bake, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter until smooth and creamy. When rolls are slightly cooled, spread the frosting generously on top, allowing it to melt into the warm rolls.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is lukewarm to activate yeast properly; avoid hot milk as it kills yeast.
  • Crush Oreos gently keeping some chunks for added texture.
  • Do not skip the second rise; it ensures airy, tender rolls.
  • Use room temperature eggs and softened butter for smoother dough and filling.
  • Rotate the baking dish halfway through baking to avoid uneven browning.
