Decadent Oreo-Filled Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 Oreo cookies
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  4. Place an Oreo cookie on each crescent roll triangle. Roll up each triangle, enclosing the Oreo cookie inside, and pinch the edges to seal.
  5. Dip each rolled-up crescent roll in melted butter, then coat evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  6. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed for desired consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with the glaze while still warm.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

FAQs:

  • What ingredients are needed for Oreo-Filled Cinnamon Rolls?
    • Key ingredients typically include all-purpose flour, yeast, milk, butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, Oreos (or similar sandwich cookies), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optionally, cream cheese for the frosting.
  • How do I make the cinnamon roll dough?
    • Start by proofing the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Mix the flour, salt, and melted butter, then knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size before rolling out.
  • How do I prepare the Oreo filling for the cinnamon rolls?
    • Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon to create a spreadable filling for the rolled-out dough.
  • Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead of time?
    • Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to the point of baking them. After assembling and cutting the rolls, place them in a baking dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Allow them to come to room temperature before baking the next day.
  • How should I store and reheat leftover Oreo-Filled Cinnamon Rolls?
    • Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for a few seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Optionally, warm them and drizzle with cream cheese frosting before serving.
