Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE DOUGH:

  • 3 ¾ cups (470g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon salt

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (about 2 cups)
  • ⅓ cup (67g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE ICING:

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle and press the cookie mixture over the buttered dough gently.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Evenly spread the cookie filling over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log. Cut into 12 even slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before icing.
  5. Make the Icing: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure milk temperature is warm (110°F/45°C) to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
  • For a richer dough, substitute milk with half milk and half cream.
  • Use room temperature butter for the filling to spread easily.
  • Cut rolls with a sharp knife or dental floss to maintain neat edges.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate and reheat before serving.
