Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add flour and salt to form a dough, knead until smooth, adding blue gel food coloring until desired hue is achieved. Let dough rise in a greased bowl for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling by blending softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Fold in crushed cookies and mini chocolate chips until combined.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly, roll tightly into a log, and slice into 12 pieces using dental floss.
- Place sliced rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel and let rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- In a bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Adjust with milk for desired consistency.
- Drizzle icing over warm rolls and top with crushed cookies and chocolate chips. Serve warm.
