For the Dough:
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
For the Cookies and Cream Filling:
- 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Oreo cookies, crushed for garnish
Instructions
1. Make the Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes, or in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and crushed Oreo crumbs until combined.
3. Roll and Fill the Dough:
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Spread the cookies-and-cream filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Slice into 12 equal rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
4. Second Rise:
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–40 minutes, or until puffed.
5. Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
6. Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner consistency.
7. Glaze and Serve:
- Spread the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls. Sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Double Stuf Oreos for extra creamy filling and flavor.
- For an even richer treat, drizzle melted chocolate over the glazed rolls.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a fresh taste.
