Timing

Making Oreo-Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 25-30 minutes for baking, plus 1 hour for dough rising.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
3. Add Flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
4. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. Mix Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and crushed Oreo cookies until well mixed.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

1. Roll Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×16 inches).

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

1. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the Oreo filling over the rolled-out dough.
2. Roll Up: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
3. Cut Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

Step 5: Bake

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6: Make the Cream Cheese Glaze

1. Mix Glaze Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 7: Serve
