Ingredients in Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s the magic behind this dreamy dessert:

Dough

  • Flour: The base that makes these rolls soft and fluffy.
  • Yeast: For that perfect rise, making the rolls light and airy.
  • Milk: Adds richness and softness to the dough.
  • Butter: Because buttery dough is the best dough.
  • Sugar: A touch of sweetness in every bite.

Filling

  • Oreos: The surprise star of the show. You’ll need whole cookies to stuff inside each roll.
  • Cinnamon Sugar: A classic swirl that pairs perfectly with the Oreo filling.
  • Butter: Helps the cinnamon sugar melt into the dough, creating gooey layers.

Topping

  • Cream Cheese Frosting: Sweet, tangy, and velvety—because no cinnamon roll is complete without it.

(Note: The full ingredient list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card below.)

Instructions

Prep the Dough

  • Warm the milk and butter, then mix with yeast and sugar. Let it bloom until foamy.
  • Combine with flour and knead into a soft dough. Let it rise until doubled in size.

Assemble the Rolls

  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter evenly, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Place an Oreo near the edge of the dough and roll it tightly to enclose the cookie. Repeat until all rolls are formed.

Bake to Perfection

  • Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space for expansion. Let them rise again until puffy.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and irresistibly fragrant.

Add the Frosting

  • Spread cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls, letting it melt into the cracks for ultimate gooeyness.

How to Serve Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a special treat any time of day.

Additional Tips

  • Make Ahead: Prep the rolls the night before and let them rise in the fridge overnight.
  • Freeze-Friendly: Bake and cool the rolls, then freeze individually. Just reheat in the microwave or oven when a craving strikes.
  • Customization: Swap the Oreos for your favorite sandwich cookie or add crushed Oreos to the frosting for an extra Oreo kick.

FAQ Section

Q1: Can I use a different type of cookie for the filling?
A1: Of course! Swap Oreos for your favorite cookie—think chocolate chip, Biscoff, or even peanut butter cookies for a unique twist.

Q2: Can I make these dairy-free?
A2: Absolutely! Use plant-based butter, almond milk, and a vegan cream cheese substitute for the frosting.

Q3: What’s the best way to reheat them?
A3: Pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes for that fresh-out-of-the-oven vibe.

Q4: Can I freeze the unbaked rolls?
A4: Yes! After shaping, place them on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container. Thaw and let them rise before baking.

Q5: Do I need a stand mixer to make the dough?
A5: Not at all! You can mix and knead the dough by hand—it just takes a little extra elbow grease.

Q6: How can I make the frosting extra special?
A6: Add crushed Oreos to the cream cheese frosting or a splash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.

Q7: Can I make mini Oreo-stuffed cinnamon rolls?
A7: Definitely! Use smaller pieces of dough and mini Oreos for bite-sized versions perfect for parties or snacks.

Q8: What if I don’t have a rolling pin?
A8: No problem! A clean wine bottle or even your hands can do the trick to flatten the dough.

Q9: Can I skip the second rise?
A9: The second rise is important for fluffy rolls. If you’re in a rush, the texture might be a bit denser, but they’ll still taste amazing.

Q10: How do I know when they’re done baking?
A10: The tops should be golden brown, and when you gently press a roll, it should spring back slightly. A quick peek at the sides will show soft, fluffy layers.
