Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup crushed chocolate cookies
  • Extra mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in the sugar, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add 2 cups of flour and salt; mix until combined. Slowly add the remaining flour while kneading until the dough is soft and slightly sticky. Add a few drops of blue food coloring; knead until evenly distributed. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it up, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth. Stir in crushed chocolate cookies along with mini chocolate chips.
  3. Lightly flour your workspace. Roll out the dough into a rectangle measuring about 14×9 inches. Spread the filling evenly over the surface of the dough. Roll tightly from one long side to create a log shape. Cut into 12 even rolls.
  4. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover them up again and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar followed by vanilla extract and milk. Mix until creamy.
  6. Once baked rolls are out of the oven but still warm, drizzle them generously with cream cheese icing. Top with crushed chocolate cookies along with extra mini chocolate chips if desired. Serve warm for maximum enjoyment!
