You’ll Swear You’re at the Fair

Cinnamon Roll Fried Oreos capture that indulgent fair-food feeling without the long lines.

A Cinnamon Roll Lover’s Dream

If you love cinnamon rolls and fair food, this recipe combines both in one irresistible bite. The exterior becomes crisp when fried, the cookie inside softens slightly, and the sweet glaze ties everything together. Using canned cinnamon roll dough keeps the method simple and mess-free while delivering fantastic flavor and texture.

This version skips a runny batter and instead wraps the cookie in cinnamon-spiced dough, which fries to a perfect golden brown. Top them with the canned icing warmed to a drizzle-friendly consistency and add crushed Oreos for extra texture. The result is one of the tastiest fried Oreos you can make at home.

Ingredients and Supplies

(See the recipe card below for exact measurements and details)

Ingredients:

Refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing: choose a brand whose rolls separate cleanly in half so they can be flattened and wrapped without unraveling.
Double Stuf Oreo cookies: regular Oreos work too but will create a slightly different dough-to-cookie ratio. You can also use flavored or seasonal Oreos.
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Crushed Oreo cookies, for garnish
Neutral frying oil (vegetable or canola)

Supplies:

Sharp knife
Large deep skillet or frying pan
Instant-read thermometer (recommended for accurate oil temperature)
Paper towels for draining

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Fried Oreos

Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them on a clean work surface. Set the icing aside.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll horizontally into a top and bottom. Gently press each half flatter so they form round disks.
Place one Oreo on a bottom disk, then top with the other half of dough. Pinch the edges firmly so the dough seals completely around the cookie. Repeat with remaining rolls and cookies.

Steps to make cinnamon roll fried Oreos.

Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large skillet and heat over medium until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower a few stuffed cinnamon rolls into the hot oil without overcrowding. They should sizzle and float.
Fry about 1 minute per side, until evenly golden and cooked through. Adjust times as needed based on size and oil temperature.
Transfer fried pieces to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Warm the reserved icing briefly (about 10 seconds) until it reaches a drizzling consistency.

Dust each fried cinnamon roll with powdered sugar, drizzle with the warmed icing, and finish with a sprinkle of crushed Oreos. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Storage

These are best enjoyed fresh and hot. If you have leftovers, let them cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day; beyond that they tend to become soggy. To crisp them up before serving, reheat in an air fryer at 325°F for 3–4 minutes or in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes.
