    🍴 Recipe Tips

    When making the dough to these cookies and cream rolls make sure to knead them enough that the dough gets nice and elastic. You can test this by poking the dough with your finger. If it springs back and tries to fill in the hole you just made, it's doing good.

    Warm water should be added to the dough to help activate the yeast. Cold water will not help the yeast to proof and will cause you to have a poorly risen dough meaning fewer cinnamon rolls and harder crumb. Too hot of water will kill the yeast. A good rule of thumb is to have the water set at a comfortable temperature for washing your hands. This would be 110 degrees F.

    💭 FAQs

    Can I make cookies and cream cinnamon rolls overnight?

    Yes, you can make these cinnamon rolls all the way up to the second rise, and instead, cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 8 hours. Let sit on the counter for 30 minutes as the oven preheats and then bake as directed.

    Can I freeze Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe?

    Yes, these rolls do great in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can freeze them before baking and let them thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed or freeze after baking and before icing. Store in an airtight container either way.

    How long are Cookies N Cream cinnamon rolls good for?

    These rolls are good for up to 3-5 days if stored in an airtight container. For best tasting results I recommend eating within 2 days.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make cookies and cream cinnamon rolls recipe with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    1. In a bowl whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
    2. Make a well in the center and add to it the sugar, oil, and water.
    3. Stir to combine.
    4. Knead the dough on floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Feed it more flour as needed to get it no longer sticky. You may need about 1 more cup of flour.
    5. Place in a bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour in a warm place.
    6. Punch down and roll out into a rectangle shape about 15 inches by 20 inches big.
    7. In a food processor blend 12 Oreo cookies until fine crumbs. Mix in a bowl with cocoa powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
    8. In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Spread over the rolled out dough.
    9. Spread your Oreo mixture over the butter and spread it out over the top. Leave a 1 inch border along one long side open and empty.
    10. Starting from one long end of the rectangle to the other, roll the cinnamon roll dough into a tight log and then pinch the end seams to hold it together.
    11. Slice the ends off and discard as these will have very little filling. Slice the remaining log into 12 equal sized pieces and place them into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
    12. Cover the dish and allow the rolls to rest until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    13. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
    14. In a small bowl whisk together the icing ingredients until smooth, using enough milk to get it to a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the icing over the top of the cinnamon rolls.
    15. Top the icing with some chopped Oreo cookies.
    16. Serve warm and enjoy.
