Tips to Make Oreo Cinnamon Rolls

• Crushing Oreos: For the best texture, crush the Oreos into small chunks instead of a fine powder. This adds a nice crunch.
• Dough Rising: Ensure your dough rises in a warm, draft-free area. You can turn on your oven light to create a warm environment.
• Frosting Consistency: Adjust the frosting thickness by adding more milk if it’s too thick or more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.

Variation (If Any)

You can add chocolate chips to the filling for an extra chocolatey taste. Alternatively, use a different flavored cream cheese for the frosting, such as strawberry or vanilla.
