Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Blue food coloring (a few drops)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies (like chocolate chip cookies or Oreos)
- For the topping:
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate chip cookies
- 1/4 cup crushed sandwich cookies (optional)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream (for thinning the glaze)
Instructions
- Warm milk and butter together until melted and just warm. Stir in sugar and yeast, and let sit for a few minutes.
- Add eggs, salt, and blue food coloring. Gradually add flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Roll dough into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, and scatter crushed cookies or chocolate chips.
- Roll up tightly, slice into 12 rolls, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise for 30–45 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and puffed.
- For the glaze, whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to reach drizzle consistency.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and sprinkle with extra crushed cookies.
Notes
- Use cocoa powder with blue coloring for a chocolate twist.
- Swap cream cheese glaze for marshmallow frosting for a dessert version.
- Add almond extract or espresso powder to the filling for flavor depth.
- Top with sprinkles or edible googly eyes for extra fun.
- Prepare the dough the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
