Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Stir in sugar, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Then add 2 cups of flour along with salt—mix until combined.
  3. Slowly incorporate the remaining flour while kneading until you achieve a soft and slightly sticky dough. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to give your dough that signature hue! Knead until evenly colored.
  4. Transfer it to a greased bowl, cover it up, and let it rise for 1 to 1½ hours until doubled in size.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Stir in crushed chocolate cookies and mini chocolate chips.
  6. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle measuring about 14×9 inches. Evenly spread that delicious filling across the entire surface of the dough.
  7. Roll up the dough tightly from one long side and cut into 12 even pieces.
  8. Place those beautifully cut rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover them again and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
  10. While those rolls are baking, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar along with vanilla extract and milk—mixing until creamy perfection is achieved!
  11. Once baked rolls have cooled slightly but are still warm, drizzle that luscious cream cheese icing over top generously! Sprinkle with crushed chocolate cookies and extra mini chocolate chips if you like.
