Make soft, gooey Oreo Cinnamon Rolls that taste like they came from a bakery. This recipe swirls crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the filling for a decadent cookies and cream experience, topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (optional, for richer glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on your refrigerated cinnamon roll package. Prepare a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the 6 Oreo cookies. Scrape the cream filling from the cookies and set it aside for the glaze, if using cream cheese in the glaze. Crush the cookie wafers into fine crumbs.
  3. Unroll the cinnamon roll dough strips.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined. This is your chocolate-cinnamon swirl base.
  5. Spread the butter-sugar mixture evenly over the surface of each unrolled dough strip.
  6. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo crumbs over the filling mixture on each strip.
  7. Roll the dough strips back up tightly, starting from the short end, tucking the Oreo pieces inside.
  8. Place the rolled dough into the prepared baking dish, leaving a small space between each roll.
  9. Bake according to the package directions until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you are using the reserved Oreo cream filling or extra cream cheese, beat it into the glaze until creamy.
  11. Remove the rolls from the oven. Immediately pour or spread the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls.
  12. Sprinkle extra crushed Oreo crumbs over the top of the glaze before serving. Serve warm for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • For extra gooey rolls, pour 1/4 cup of heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
  • You can make these rolls ahead; cover the pan and refrigerate the unbaked rolls for up to 12 hours, then add 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
  • If you prefer a simple vanilla glaze instead of cream cheese, skip the cream cheese and reserved filling.
