Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dough:

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

For the Filling:

½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
10 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp milk (for thinning)
4 Oreo cookies, crushed (for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

(Shortcut: Use pre-made pizza or crescent dough for a quick version!)

2. Make the Oreo Filling

Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl. Stir in crushed Oreo crumbs until it forms a spreadable paste.

3. Roll and Fill

Once the dough has risen, roll it into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
Spread the Oreo filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 9–12 even rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.

4. Second Rise

Place rolls into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes, until puffy.

5. Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.

6. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, beating until fluffy and spreadable.

7. Frost and Serve

Spread the frosting over warm rolls, then sprinkle with crushed Oreos.
Serve immediately — preferably with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.
