Description
Delicious and sweet cinnamon rolls inspired by the Cookie Monster, featuring chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies on top.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done, drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
Notes
- For a cream cheese icing, substitute the powdered sugar and milk with 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons milk.
- Add nuts or dried fruit to the filling for extra texture and flavor.
