Steps to Make It
HIDE IMAGES Gather the ingredients.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle.
Brush with the melted butter.
In a small bowl combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
Sprinkle over butter, covering the surface within 1/2 inch of the borders.
Evenly distribute the crushed cookies over the dough.
Starting on long side, roll up jelly roll style.
Cut into 8 equal pieces.
Place in an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray
Cover rolls lightly with plastic wrap that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and let proof or rise until double in size. While the rolls are rising, pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
Remove wrap and bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
While the rolls are baking, make the glaze. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the milk until the glaze has reached desired consistency.
Remove the baked rolls from the oven and place on a wire rack.
Spread the icing over the top while still warm.
Sprinkle with remaining crushed cookies. Serve warm and enjoy!
How do you keep cinnamon rolls from getting hard?
There are two reasons cinnamon rolls become hard: a certain ratio of yeast to flour and over-baking. Since this recipe uses a pre-made bread dough, you don’t have to worry about the ratios of flour to yeast. When baking the cinnamon rolls, setting a timer and removing them immediately after cooking helps prevent over-baking and getting to too hard.
Storage Any leftover cinnamon rolls should be cooled then wrapped in plastic wrap or kept in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft. You can also freeze the plain un-iced rolls.
