Total Time

Yield
8-10 cinnamon rolls
Detailed Directions and Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). As the oven heats up, take a moment to grease a round or square baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the cinnamon rolls
Open the can of cinnamon roll dough. Inside, you’ll find each roll nestled within the can. Carefully separate the rolls, taking your time not to tear them. Unroll each cinnamon roll gently, and flatten it out into a strip, making it conducive for stuffing.
3. Stuff with Oreos
With your flattened cinnamon roll strip in hand, sprinkle a generous amount of the crushed Oreo cookies all over the surface. Be sure to cover it evenly for that delightful taste in every bite. Once you’ve added sufficient Oreo crumbs, roll the strip back up tightly, ensuring that the Oreo filling is securely encased within the fluffy dough.
4. Bake
After preparing all your Oreo-stuffed cinnamon rolls, place them into the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they bake, ensuring they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through to perfection.
5. Make the cream cheese glaze
While your cinnamon rolls are baking away, prepare the indulgent cream cheese glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, incorporating each ingredient well. To achieve your desired consistency, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of milk, thinning the glaze as needed.
6. Glaze and serve
Once your cinnamon rolls are finished baking, take them out of the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before drizzling that lovely cream cheese glaze generously over the top. Serve these warm for the best experience, and enjoy every indulgent bite of this Oreo-cinnamon roll combination!
Notes
– For extra excitement, consider adding a few whole or half Oreo cookies atop the cinnamon rolls before baking. This addition not only enhances the flavor but also adds visual appeal.
– If you like a richer filling, opt for double-stuffed Oreos for an even more decadent experience.
Cook techniques
– Ensuring the cinnamon roll strips are evenly flattened will make the stuffing process easier and ensure even baking.
– Don’t rush the baking process; slightly underbaked rolls may collapse, while overbaking can dry them out.
