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
- 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 the melted butter, egg, and activated yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the cookie mixture over the buttered dough, pressing it down lightly.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread the cookie filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the longer side. Cut into 12 even slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool for 5–10 minutes before icing.
- Make the Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the milk temperature is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- Kneading the dough well develops the gluten for soft, fluffy rolls.
- Allow the dough to rise sufficiently for the best texture.
- You can substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with other flavored sandwich cookies for variation.
- Serve the rolls warm for the best taste experience.
