Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Sauce pan
  • mixer
  • Sheet pan

Ingredients

DOUGH:

  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • cup unsalted butter
  • cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs room temperature

FILLING:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room tempeature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cup Oreo crumbs about 14 chocolate cookies

ICING:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ cup Oreo crumbs plus additional for garnish

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour and yeast. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk, ⅓ cup butter, sugar, and salt until 120 degrees F. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir until the butter is melted. Add the milk mixture to the flour and yeast.
  • Mix on low, using a regular paddle, adding the eggs one at a time.
  • Change the mixer attachment to the dough hook. Beat the dough at low, adding the remaining flour a little at a time. Increase speed to medium until a soft dough forms, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides. Cover with a clean dish towel.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
  • Punch the dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cover and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • To make the filling: Beat the cream cheese and butter until combined. Add the sugar and beat until creamy, scraping down as needed.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 20 inches by 10 inches. Sprinkle with the cream cheese filling mixture, leaving a 1-inch space on one long edge without filling. Over the creamy filling, sprinkle the crushed cookies.
  • Starting on the long side, roll the dough up, working it tightly but without pulling the dough too much. Seal the long edge by pinching it shut.
  • Cut the dough into 12 even slices by cutting the dough in half, cutting those halves in half and then the quarters into three slices each.
  • Place each roll in a large bar pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, allowing about one inch between them. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until doubled.
  • TIP: Before allowing the final rise, rolls may be tightly covered and placed in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and allow to rise before baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the rolls bake, prepare the icing as follows: Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla, stirring until well blended. Stir in the powdered sugar and then add the milk a little at a time until reaching the desired consistency. Fold in ¼ cup cookie crumbs.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and spread with icing. Top with additional cookie crumbs.
