Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Roll Dough:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Oreo Filling:

½ cup brown sugar, packed

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup coarsely crushed Oreo cookies (about 8 cookies)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

Crushed Oreo cookies for topping (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to foam.

- Add the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.

- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make the Filling:

- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

- Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (approximately 15x10 inches). Spread the softened butter all over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border.

- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough evenly, then sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top.

Roll and Cut the Dough:

- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

- Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for a clean cut.

- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced out to allow for rising.

Second Rise:

- Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffed.

Bake the Rolls:

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

- Remove from oven and let them cool slightly in the pan.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:

- In a medium bowl, whip together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.

- Gradually add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Frost and Serve:

- Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls. For an extra treat, sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies on top.

- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Oreo Cookies and Cream Cinnamon Rolls!
