Here’s a recipe for Oreo Cinnamon Rolls:
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10-12 cookies)
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture with sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Crush the Oreo cookies into small pieces and set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover them with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Oreo Cinnamon Rolls!
These rolls are a delightful twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, with the addition of crushed Oreo cookies adding a delicious chocolatey crunch. Enjoy!
