Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls Treat

Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls are the ultimate marriage of two sweet favorites inspired by those spontaneous Sunday mornings when I wanted something special but easy. The gooey cinnamon rolls hide a melty Oreo center for a dessert or breakfast that’s as fun to serve as it is to eat.

The first time I baked these was for a late-night movie with friends and we all ended up sneaking seconds right off the pan they are seriously irresistible

Ingredients

• Cinnamon roll dough: this saves time and bakes up soft and fluffy look for a brand with plenty of cinnamon inside
• Oreo cookies: choose the classic type for best texture double-stuffed will give even more creamy center
• Crushed Oreo cookies: sprinkled on top for crunch I like to pulse these just a couple of times in a food processor for little chunks
• Cream cheese: softened so it blends smoothly makes the icing rich and tangy use full-fat cream cheese for better flavor
• Powdered sugar: gives you the glossy sweet drizzle sift it if it looks clumpy
• Milk: brings the icing together and helps you get the perfect pourable consistency whole or two percent milk work best
• Vanilla extract: this little bit rounds out the cream cheese icing with warmth go for real vanilla not imitation if you can

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven:

Set your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit so the heat is even by the time you slide in the pan This is key to perfect golden rolls

Stuff the cinnamon rolls:

Unwrap and flatten each cinnamon roll dough piece Place one Oreo cookie right in the center Gently fold and wrap the dough back around the cookie pinching to seal so the Oreo is hidden inside Try not to overstretch the dough

Arrange in the baking dish:

Grease a baking dish well Arrange your Oreo-stuffed dough balls evenly in the pan giving them a little space to expand as they bake

Bake:

Place the dish on the middle oven rack Bake for eighteen to twenty minutes until the rolls are puffed and deep golden Watch the last couple minutes so the tops do not overcook

Make the cream cheese icing:

As the rolls bake beat the cream cheese until smooth Whisk in the powdered sugar vanilla and milk a splash at a time until you get a thick but pourable icing

Drizzle the icing:

Once out of the oven let the rolls cool for about five minutes Drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls The warmth helps the icing melt into all the nooks and crannies

Finish with Oreo topping:

Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the icing For the best texture do this right away so the cookie bits stick well

Pin

My favorite part is the moment you cut into a roll and find the surprise Oreo center My nephew calls this the secret cookie portal and we always laugh when the filling is revealed

Storage Tips

Leftover rolls can be kept covered at room temperature for up to two days They stay moist in an airtight container For longer storage refrigerate up to four days Reheat lightly in the microwave to soften before serving

Serving Suggestions

Serve these warm with cold milk or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top For birthday brunches I sometimes add rainbow sprinkles along with the Oreo topping Kids love it with chocolate syrup drizzled over the icing
