Halloween Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Did I fail to mention above that these are made using Oreo cookies? I know – crazy, right? When you thought homemade cinnamon rolls couldn’t get any better, Oreos are introduced to the mix.
These rolls are not only a fun and easy sweet treat, but they’re also soft and delicious. The dough bakes to be light and fluffy, giving you the perfect mouth texture with every bite.
I typically bake these, let them cool, and then reserve one. This is because, once the boys in my house eye the pan, they’ll be going before I can react!
How do I know when cinnamon rolls are done baking?
Knowing when cinnamon rolls are done baking can make the difference between a perfect pastry and a doughy disappointment. The simplest way to check is to look at their color; they should be a rich golden brown across the top.
Gently press the center of one of the rolls. If it springs back, they’re likely done. For more precision, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a roll should read around 190°F (88°C).
Baking times can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the dough, so start checking a few minutes before the recipe suggests.

How do I soften leftover cinnamon rolls?
Leftover cinnamon rolls can often become dry and hard, but there’s an easy way to return them to their soft, gooey glory. Simply place the cinnamon rolls onto a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel.
Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until they’re warmed through. The steam from the damp paper towel will help rehydrate the rolls, making them soft and moist again.
For an extra indulgence, you can also drizzle a bit of milk or cream over the top before microwaving. Enjoy your revitalized cinnamon rolls as if they were freshly baked!
