Scale
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing)

- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
- 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in sugar, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually add 2 cups of flour and salt, mixing until combined. Add more flour until you have a soft, sticky dough. Knead in blue food coloring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until creamy and fold in crushed cookies and mini chocolate chips.
- Once dough has risen, punch it down gently, roll it out into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly, roll tightly, and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- For icing, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until velvety.
- Drizzle icing over warm rolls, sprinkle with crushed cookies and mini chocolate chips. Serve immediately.
