  • 2 1/4 tsp quick rise yeast 1 packet
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt

Oreo Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp black cocoa powder
  • 4 Oreo cookies finely crushed
  • Cream Cheese Icing
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Oreo cookies crushed

Instructions
 

  • Heat the milk in the microwave for about 40 seconds until warm to the touch (around 110°F).
  • Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top.
  • Add the sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  • Stir in the flour and salt with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
  • Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or use a dough hook in a mixer on medium speed for about 8 minutes.
  • If the dough is sticky, add 1–2 tablespoons of additional flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough ball forms.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel, and allow it to rise for 1–1½ hours until doubled in size.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14 x 9 inch rectangle.
  • Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
  • In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, black cocoa powder, and crushed Oreos. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough and gently press into the butter.
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the short side.
  • Trim uneven ends and cut the dough into 10 rolls using a serrated knife or dental floss.
  • Grease a 10-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper. Arrange the rolls inside.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel and allow to rise for 30–45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking.
  • Let the rolls cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • To make the icing, beat milk, cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spread icing over the warm Oreo Cinnamon Rolls and sprinkle with crushed Oreos before serving.

Notes

For a stronger Oreo flavor, you can increase the crushed Oreos in the filling or topping. These cinnamon rolls are best served warm when the icing is soft and creamy.
