Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 cup milk warm
  • 2.5 teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet (21 grams)
  • ½ cup sugar white
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • ½ cup melted butter cooled down
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon blue food coloring
  • 1 cup oreos crushed
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

For the icing

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 8 ounce cream cheese 1 package
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Cinnamon Rolls

  • With a paddle attachment, in the stand mixer add the 1 cup of warm milk, ½ cup of sugar and yeast.
    1 cup milk, ½ cup sugar, 2.5 teaspoons instant yeast
  • Mix until well combined and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast bubbles and thickens.
  • Add the melted butter and eggs and mix until combined in medium-low speed.
    ½ cup melted butter, 2 eggs
  • Add the flour one cup at a time until a sticky dough forms.
    4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Switch the stand mixer to the hook attachment and knead the dough in medium-low until well combined. If the dough is too sticky add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough is not sticking to the sides of the bowl. I added 2 extra tablespoons to my mix
  • Add the food coloring until the dough is uniform in color. About 1 minute.
    1 tablespoon blue food coloring
  • Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and a towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
  • While the dough rises make the Oreo mix by crushing the Oreos and combining them with the sugar and cinnamon
    1 cup oreos, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Once the dough rises, punch the dough in the middle to release air. Extend the dough on a flat surface and roll it into a square.
  • Add a pat of butter to form an even coat and then sprinkle the Oreo mixture
  • Roll the dough lengthwise and using unflavored floss cut the rolls into 1.5 inch pieces. You should have about 12 rolls.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream to a baking dish and place the rolls on the baking dish, let the rolls rest for 30 minutes.
    ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • Preheat the oven at 375°F.
  • Bake the rolls at 375°F for 20 minutes.

For the icing

  • Place the butter, cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the balloon whisk until smooth.
    ½ cup butter, 8 ounce cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Spread the icing over the rolls and add crushed Oreos and chocolate chip cookies (such as chips ahoy) on top.
  • Serve and enjoy.
