Instructions

How to make Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

  • Add the Oreo Cookies to a plastic zip-close bag and close the bag. Using a rolling pin, smash the Oreo Cookies into small pieces. Set the Oreo cookie crumbles to the side.
  • Pour the warm milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and the yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook. Stir and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes until the yeast begins to bubble.
  • Incorporate the remaining sugar and the egg and mix on a low speed until well combined.
  • As the dough mixes, gradually add a cup of flour, the melted butter, and heavy cream.
  • Gradually add the remaining flour until a sticky dough ball forms. Then, increase the speed to medium-low and continue mixing for 2-3 minutes, until the dough becomes more elastic.
  • If needed, gradually add extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. A great way to check if the dough is ready is by poking it with your finger; it should feel tacky but not sticky. When you pull your finger away, there shouldn't be any residue left behind.
  • Add the oreo pieces and mix until combined.
  • Remove the beater and cover the dough with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes until it begins to rise well.
  • Dust a clean counter with flour and roll the dough into a 12-inch by 18-inch rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  • Make the Oreo Cookie filling using the directions below. Spread evenly over the dough, making sure to leave ½ inch on one long side with no filling.
  • Carefully roll the dough tightly from one side toward the bare strip.  Pinch the bare side to the cinnamon rolls.
  • Use a knife or a string and divide the dough in half. Divide each half, then divide again, repeat until you have 12 cinnamon rolls.  (You can divide into 9 even pieces if you want thicker cinnamon rolls.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish or baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Lay the rolls evenly in the pan.
  • Cover with tinfoil and place in a warm place to rise for 30 to 45 minutes until doubled.
  • Once the cinnamon rolls have been raised, pour the heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon rolls and heat the oven to 350°.
  • Bake for 26 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove and cool for 20 minutes.

How to Make Oreo Cookie Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • Combine the filling ingredients together to form a thick paste.

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese Icing

  • In a large mixing bowl add the butter and cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, bat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth, fluffy and fully combined. This will take about 4 minutes.
  • Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until creamy.  If the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you are satisfied.
  • Spread the icing over the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with oreo pieces.
