Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup crushed oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Topping/Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed oreo cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by warming milk to 110°F and mixing with sugar until foamy, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Combine flour, salt, and remaining dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, creating a well in the center.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture and beaten eggs into the flour well, stirring until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place in a greased bowl.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm environment for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by blending softened butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon into a spreadable mixture.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll into a large rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the prepared filling evenly across the dough, then sprinkle crushed oreo cookies generously.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a log-shaped formation.
- Cut the log into 12 equal sections and place in a greased baking pan.
- Allow rolls to rise for an additional 30 minutes in a warm location.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, whip cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla into a smooth frosting.
- Remove rolls from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then generously spread with cream cheese frosting.
- Garnish with remaining crushed oreo cookies before serving warm.
Notes
- Check yeast temperature precisely to ensure proper activation, using a digital thermometer for accuracy.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating a softer, more tender texture in the final rolls.
- Allow sufficient rising time in a draft-free, warm spot to help dough double and become light and fluffy.
- Crush oreo cookies into different sizes for varied texture and visual interest throughout the rolls.
