Cookies and Cream Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Roll thawed dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or floured piece of parchment paper to form a 12x18 rectangle.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon to form a paste.

Step 3

Use a spatula to spread the butter/sugar mixture over the dough. Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the butter mixture.

Step 4

Roll the dough up tightly into a log.

Step 5

Slice the log into twelve 2-inch wide pieces.

Step 6

Place the cinnamon rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish, leaving equal space between all of the rolls. Cover with a light towel and place in a warm, draft-free location. Leave to rise for 2 hours, until puffy.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 8

Pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls.

Step 9

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 10

Beat or stir together optional frosting ingredients. Spread frosting over warm cinnamon rolls and top with remaining cup of crushed Oreo cookies.
