Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Filling
- 1 can or batch cinnamon roll dough
- 12 Oreos, crushed
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Glaze
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll out cinnamon roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle for even layering.
- Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
- Brush dough with butter: Evenly brush melted unsalted butter over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough to help the sugar mixture stick and add richness.
- Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly across the buttered dough to ensure a uniform sweet flavor throughout.
- Add crushed Oreos: Scatter the crushed Oreos uniformly on top of the cinnamon sugar layer, creating tasty pockets in each roll.
- Roll and slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log from one end to the other, then slice into 8 to 10 equal rolls to ensure even baking.
- Arrange rolls: Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Prepare the glaze: While rolls bake, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl, mixing until the glaze is smooth and creamy.
- Glaze the rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly but are still warm, generously spread the cream cheese glaze over the tops to melt slightly and add sweetness.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top for decoration and serve the cinnamon rolls warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Using softened cream cheese and room temperature butter ensures easier spreading and mixing.
- You can adjust the amount of Oreo cookies based on preference for more or less cookie filling.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off completely.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce milk slightly or add more powdered sugar.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute cinnamon roll dough with a gluten-free alternative.
