Instructions

To make the dough

Scatter the yeast over warm water, add in 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir. Let the yeast mixture sit for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly.
½ cup warm water, 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
In a mixing bowl, whisk together remaining sugar, eggs, yeast mixture and warm milk.
¼ cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 2 large eggs
In another mixing bowl, mix flour, salt and butter well until combined.
4 cups all-purpose flour, ½ tsp kosher salt, 5 tbsp unsalted butter
Then, pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and knead for 1-2 minutes.
½ cup whole milk
Add chopped cookies and continue to knead for 4-5 minutes more.
½ cup Oreo cookies
Then, transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it sit for an hour until double in volume.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and roll it into a 20 x 14 inch rectangle.

To make the filling

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar.
3 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon
Spread the butter over the dough, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar and chopped cookies on top.
⅓ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup Oreo cookies
Roll the dough into a log starting from the long side. Slice it into 10-12 equal parts.
Place the rolls into a greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 45-50 minutes to rise.
Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F. Bake for 30-33 minutes until golden brown on top then let rest for 5-10 minutes before frosting.

To make the cream cheese frosting

In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
113 g cream cheese, ¼ cup unsalted butter
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then spread over the rolls and top with chopped Oreo cookies.
½ tsp vanilla extract, 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
Garnish with finely chopped Oreo cookies.
1 tbsp finely chopped Oreo cookies

Notes

I highly recommend using ingredients that are at room temperature. Because yeast prefers a warm environment, using eggs and butter that are at room temperature will keep the dough at the ideal temperature for maximum yeast activity. Furthermore, room-temperature butter will mix into the dough more easily and uniformly than cold butter.
