    Oreo Cinnamon Rolls: A twist on traditional cinnamon rolls, these easy homemade cinnamon rolls are made with Oreo cookies!

    Homemade cinnamon rolls are a vintage recipe that is an incredible treat. When adding other flavors to them, like my strawberry cinnamon rolls, and now these Oreo cinnamon rolls, it makes them even more unbelievable.

    Why You’ll Love These Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

    There will always be a place in my heart for a classic cinnamon roll (you know the kind- fluffy cinnamon rolls smothered in luscious cream cheese frosting…mmm), like these mini cinnamon rolls too. They’re a classic, like this coffee cake recipe!

    But now and then I like to get creative and try something a bit different, and these cookies and cream cinnamon rolls were just the thing!

    You can never have too many tasty, easy recipes for something like cinnamon rolls, and I’m so excited to add this one to the list!

    Ingredients for Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

    Ingredients for cookies and cream cinnamon rolls
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 2 tablespoons dry active yeast
    • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola or coconut oil)
    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2½ cups Oreo cookies, crushed or chopped
    • ½ cup salted butter, melted

    Optional Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients

    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • extra crushed Oreos, optional

    How to Make Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

    1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, dry yeast, and sugar. Give the ingredients a quick stir and allow to rest under a towel until the yeast begins to foam. 
    2. Once the yeast is foamy, add the coconut oil and stir again.

    1. In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and 1 cup of the crushed Oreos. Use a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients until they begin to pull away from the bowl.

    Stand Mixer: You can combine the yeast mixture with the flour and Oreos in the bowl of a stand mixer, then use the paddle attachment to combine the ingredients on low speed until they begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

    1. Pour the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes.

    Stand Mixer: Switch to the dough hook attachment and mix for 3-4 minutes until the dough forms a ball.

    1. Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 30 minutes at room temperature until it has roughly doubled in size.

    Return dough to bowl and let rise.
    1. After it has risen, roll the dough out into a large rectangle about ½ inch thick. Spread the melted butter over the surface of the dough and rub the remaining 1 ½ cup of the chopped cookies into the butter.

    1. Roll the dough lengthwise (from the long side) to create a tube and then divide dough into 16 equal pieces (or 12 pieces, if you want larger rolls). You can use a sharp knife to cut the dough or use unflavored dental floss! Slide the floss under the dough roll where you want to cut it, then pull the two strings up and together in a cutting motion. 
    2. Spray your 9×13 with cooking spray and then place rolls in the 9×13 baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
    3. As the dough is rising, heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    1. Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick can be cleanly removed from the dough. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes.

    Active Dry Yeast vs. Instant Yeast?

    You can use either of these forms of yeast for this yeast dough recipe. When using instant yeast, you do not need to add it to the wet ingredients and let it sit. Instead, simply add the instant yeast in with the dry ingredients (the flour and cookie pieces) and then mix it with your wet ingredients as the recipe indicates.

    Variations

    We used Oreo cookies in this Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe, but you could use any chocolate sandwich cookies and it would still taste great.

    For the frosting, we recommended a cream cheese frosting (like the one we use on our air fryer cinnamon rolls), but the options are endless. If you have a buttercream frosting, vanilla glaze, cream cheese glaze, or even chocolate frosting recipe that you like, give it a try!

    Storage

    These cinnamon rolls can be stored in the fridge for about five days in an airtight container.

    Alternatively, you can store these cinnamon rolls either baked or unbaked in the freezer for up to three months. Simply allow the rolls to thaw in the fridge before eating or baking.

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    How do I make sure the cinnamon rolls aren’t too dry?

    Since we are adding so many cookie crumbs, we need to cut back on the amount of flour we add to the recipe. Traditionally, we would use about five cups of flour to make this many cinnamon rolls but cutting out one cup of flour in place of the crushed Oreos it keeps the dough from drying out in the oven.

    What frosting goes best with Oreo cinnamon rolls?

    However, you can also add cookie crumbs to your cream cheese frosting to add an extra chocolatey flavor and give the frosting a different texture!

    How long are Oreo cinnamon rolls good for?

    The best way to store these cinnamon rolls is in the fridge for about five days in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can store these cinnamon rolls either baked or unbaked in the freezer for up to three months. Simply allow the rolls to thaw in the fridge before eating or baking.
