Decadently delightful cinnamon rolls swirled with chocolate cookies and cream filling, topped with a creamy glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (for glaze)
  • Extra chocolate cookie crumbs for topping

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and the active dry yeast; let it froth for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Knead the dough gently for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour.
  5. Make the filling by mixing crushed chocolate cookies and softened cream cheese until spreadable.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches, 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
  8. Roll the dough into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
  9. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Make the glaze by whisking cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  12. Glaze the warm rolls after baking and top with extra chocolate cookie crumbs.

Notes

These rolls can be made ahead of time; just refrigerate the prepared rolls overnight.
