How to Make Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) to ensure a golden, even bake.
Step 2: Stuff the Rolls
Unroll each cinnamon roll and place an Oreo cookie in the center. Carefully roll it back up to seal the cookie inside.
Step 3: Arrange in the Dish
Place your stuffed rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each to allow them to rise.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 18โ20 minutes, or until beautifully golden. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid overbaking.
Make the Cream Cheese Icing
While your rolls bake, prepare the icing:
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until silky smooth.
Final Touches
Step 5: Ice the Rolls
Let the rolls cool slightly, then drizzle the icing generously over the top.
Step 6: Top with Crushed Oreos
Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the icing while itโs still soft โ this gives you that signature cookies-and-cream crunch.
Tips & Ideas
- Use fresh dough & cookies: For the best texture and flavor.
- Avoid overbaking: Pull them out as soon as the tops are golden.
- Get creative: Add chocolate chips, crushed Oreos inside, or even drizzle with chocolate syrup.
