Best part? They look fancy but are super easy to make—especially if you use refrigerated dough as a shortcut!
Ingredients
For the rolls:
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
- 10 crushed Oreo cookies
- 2 tbsp melted butter (optional for extra richness)
For the filling (if making from scratch or upgrading canned rolls):
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp softened butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Oreo icing:
- The icing from the cinnamon roll pack
- 4 crushed Oreos
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened, optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 tbsp milk (to loosen, if needed)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round or square baking dish.
Step 2: Assemble the rolls
If using store-bought rolls, unroll them slightly and sprinkle crushed Oreos inside, pressing them gently into the dough. If desired, mix softened butter with cinnamon and brown sugar and spread over the dough first for an extra boost of flavor.
Step 3: Roll and bake
Roll them back up, place them in the prepared dish, and brush with melted butter if desired. Bake according to the package directions, usually 20–25 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Step 4: Make the icing
While the rolls are baking, mix the included icing with crushed Oreos and cream cheese. Add a splash of milk if needed for a smoother texture.
Step 5: Frost and serve
Spread the Oreo icing generously over warm rolls. Top with extra Oreo crumbs for a fun birthday touch. Serve warm and watch everyone fight for seconds!
