  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10–12 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • Powdered sugar (for icing)
  • Milk (for icing)
  • Extra crushed Oreos (for topping)
  • Candy eyes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add butter, eggs, salt, and blue food coloring. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by beating cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then fold in crushed Oreos.
  5. After dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Spread the Oreo cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small edge.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 1½ to 2-inch rolls.
  8. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden.
  10. Mix icing with powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and blue food coloring. Drizzle over warm rolls.
  11. Top with candy eyes and extra crushed Oreos for that Cookie Monster look.

Notes

Make sure to let the dough rise fully for the fluffiest results. Use gel food coloring for vibrant blue and don’t skip the candy eyes for that classic Cookie Monster charm.
