Description
Deliciously vibrant blue cinnamon rolls filled with chocolate sandwich cookies and topped with cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
- ½ cup crushed chocolate cookies
- Extra mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in the sugar, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in 2 cups of flour along with the salt, followed by the remaining flour until the dough forms. Add in a few drops of blue food coloring and knead until smooth. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and set aside to rise for 1–1½ hours.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and mini chocolate chips.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle measuring about 14 x 9 inches. Spread the filling evenly over the surface. Roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log, and slice it into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for about 30–45 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until creamy.
- Drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls and sprinkle with crushed cookies and extra mini chocolate chips if desired. Best served warm.
