Pillsbury Oreo Cinnamon Rolls - Flavor Stuffed and So Good
These Pillsbury Oreo cinnamon rolls are stuffed with Oreo cookies to complement the cinnamon and brown sugar filling you'll already find in canned cinnamon buns. Just that one addition adds so a sweet, chocolatey flavor boost that tastes incredible! If you're a fan of cookies and cream ice cream, you'll love these. This easy recipe uses everyone's favorite cookie to add some amazing flavor and texture to store-bought cinnamon roll dough!
How do you make cinnamon rolls better?
If you're wondering how do you doctor up canned cinnamon rolls, you're in the right place! These Oreo cinnamon rolls Tiktok inspired me to try include bit of heavy cream to help them bake up golden brown and soft, just like homemade cinnamon rolls! And in addition to the Oreos inside the fluffy dough, we'll add even more crushed Oreos on top! The Oreo crumbs add a nice crunch to balance out the softness of the classic cinnamon roll texture!

What is the frosting on cinnamon rolls made of?
The cream cheese frosting for these Oreo cinnamon rolls is so easy! All you'll need to do is combine softened cream cheese with the icing that comes with the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls to make a delicious cream cheese glaze! Your cream cheese should be room temperature to make it easier to mix.
You can also just use the icing that comes with the canned rolls, but I love the extra creaminess of this method!
Equipment
You won't need too many tools for this Oreo cinnamon rolls recipe -- just an 8-inch baking pan or a 9-inch baking pan should work. You can also use a cake pan or even a pie pan -- whatever you have! You may also want to use a rolling pin to crush your Oreo cookies.
Instructions
Check the recipe card below for detailed instructions, but here are the basic steps for these Oreo cookie cinnamon rolls!
Unroll canned cinnamon rolls out on a surface that has been lined with parchment paper (save the icing for later). Sprinkle crushed Oreo bits onto their cinnamon filling, then roll them back up into their original shape.
Place rolls in an 8- or 9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray and pour heavy cream evenly over the top of the dough. Bake them until they're golden brown and fluffy.
Mix together softened cream cheese and the cinnamon roll icing in a small bowl until smooth.
Spread over the top of warm cinnamon rolls after baking, and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you poured heavy cream onto the cinnamon roll dough before baking, they should come out soft and fluffy. If yours are dry and hard, you may have overbaked your cinnamon rolls. Be sure to begin checking them at 20 minutes.
Your Oreo sweet rolls should be touching, but not too close together, since they will expand while they bake.
These cookies and cream cinnamon rolls are ready when they're golden brown on top. If you baked them close together in the pan, they may need a few extra minutes to be fully done.
