Ingredients Breakdown
Main Ingredients:
-
1 can (8-count) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with icing
Pre-made dough saves time and includes a sweet glaze for finishing. -
8 Oreo cookies, whole
Classic chocolate-and-cream cookies that melt slightly inside when baked. -
2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
Adds a rich, creamy layer between the dough and the cookie for extra decadence. -
1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Sprinkled on top for added texture and visual appeal. -
Cooking spray or butter
Used to lightly grease the baking dish so the rolls don’t stick.
Tips and Tricks:
-
Chill your Oreos before stuffing to prevent them from softening too much while baking.
-
Don’t overbake—this can dry out the rolls and make the filling too firm.
-
Use flavored Oreos (like mint or golden) for fun variations.
-
Add a chocolate drizzle or a sprinkle of sea salt for an upscale twist.
