Now comes the fun part! Carefully, I roll up the dough, ensuring that the Oreos are snug inside their pillowy embrace. I take my knife or pizza cutter and slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces. These will become your individual rolls, each filled with a little surprise of Oreo. I place the rolls in my greased baking dish, making sure they have some space to rise and expand while they bake.
Before popping these delicious rolls into the oven, I like to brush the tops with a bit more melted butter and sprinkle a touch of cinnamon sugar. This creates a beautifully golden crust. After about 20 to 25 minutes of baking, the aroma fills my kitchen and I can hardly wait for them to cool down before drizzling with cream cheese icing.
After removing the rolls from the oven, I let them sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly, but not too long—I love them warm! They get that perfect gooey texture from the melted Oreos, which adds an extra layer of decadence that’s hard to resist.
Pro Tips for Best Results
I’ve tested this recipe multiple ways, and one of my favorite adjustments is to use double-stuffed Oreos. The extra cream adds a nice richness that balances perfectly with the cinnamon and sugar. Another tip I have is to watch the baking time closely; each oven is different, and a little overcooked can mean a dry roll!
Also, if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some chocolate chips or nuts between the Oreo and cinnamon sugar layers for added texture. It’s a little twist that turns this already indulgent recipe into an even more delightful treat.
Finally, if you want to prepare these rolls a day in advance, you totally can! Just assemble them the night before, cover them tightly, and let them rise in the fridge overnight. You’ll wake up to an easy, fresh-baked delight.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake I made when first trying this recipe was not rolling the dough tightly enough. If the rolls are too loose, they will fall apart while baking, and nobody wants that! Just a gentle but firm roll will help keep everything together. (See the next page below to continue…)
