#### 1. Prepare the Dough
Start by activating the yeast. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Once the yeast is activated, add the melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together to form a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
#### 2. Make the Filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon together until smooth. Then, crush the Oreos and set them aside.
#### 3. Assemble the Cinnamon Rolls
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough, followed by a generous sprinkle of the crushed Oreos.
#### 4. Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange the cinnamon roll slices inside, making sure they are close but not touching.
#### 5. Prepare the Icing
While the rolls are baking, make the icing. In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency.

### Tips & Variations:
– **For extra Oreo flavor**, consider adding a few whole Oreos to the top of the rolls before baking.
– **Use a stand mixer** with a dough hook if you want to make the dough-making process easier.
– **Make ahead:** You can prepare the rolls the night before, let them rise overnight in the fridge, and bake them fresh the next morning.
– **Freeze for later:** These cinnamon rolls can be frozen both before and after baking, making them a convenient treat for busy mornings.
