Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (13.2 oz) refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the rolls.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, cinnamon, flour, and cocoa powder to create the dry filling mix.
  4. Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the unrolled dough.
  5. Sprinkle the dry filling mix evenly over the buttered dough.
  6. Scatter half of the crushed Oreo cookies over the filling mixture.
  7. Roll the dough up tightly starting from one of the long edges. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
  8. Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the tops of the rolls.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the rolls bake, prepare the frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.
  11. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the rolls by about 2 minutes.
  • You can substitute dark chocolate frosting for the cream cheese frosting if you prefer a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Use a sharp, un-serrated knife to cut the rolls to prevent squishing the layers.
