Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Make sure the milk is warmed to around 110°F.
- In a bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Cut the room-temperature butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry mixture.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, lightly beaten eggs, and Oreo crumbs.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased mixing bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for one hour.
Filling and Baking
- While the dough rises, make the filling by beating together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Spread the filling evenly across the surface of the rolled dough.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 pan and let them rise for an additional 35 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 19–22 minutes.
Glazing
- Prepare the glaze by beating together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, Oreo crumbs, and vanilla extract into the mixture until well blended.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
