Directions

Dough Preparation:

  5. Incorporate 1/2 cup crushed Oreos into the dough.
  6. Let the dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Assembly:

  1. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
  2. Spread 1/4 cup softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon roll filling and additional crushed Oreos.
  3. Roll up the dough tightly from one end and cut into 9 pieces.
  4. Place the rolls in a greased pan and let rise in the warmed, then turned-off, oven.

Baking:

  1. Remove the rolls from the oven, heat it to 350°F (175°C), and bake the rolls until golden, about 26-30 minutes.

Glazing:

  1. Mix all the glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the warm rolls.
  2. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos.
