Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

O. M. G.

This is just heavenly.

I saw this recipe a couple weeks ago on How Sweet It Is, and I just had to make it!

I had never eaten cinnamon rolls before, but they were just delicious! 

I never use chocolate chips, but hand-chopped milk chocolate, because I like that better.

You do have to wait for like 2 1/2 hours, but it is sooo worth it!

I didn't have a aluminium cake pans, so I made them in an other pan.

I'm not really good in planning things, so right after we had lunch and were full, these came out of the oven. 

But ofcourse, we still managed to eat 2 rolls each, they were that good. :)

I still had chocolate chip cookie dough left, so I made some cookies.

(I used a different Chocolate chip cookie recipe.)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

from How Sweet It Is

makes 4 pans of cinnamon rolls

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 package dry yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons)
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
melted butter
cinnamon
sugar

Mix the milk, sugar and oil in a large pot. Scald the mixture, then let cool for one hour. When it has cooled (but is still slightly warm), sprinkle the yeast into the milk mixture and let it sit for a minute. Add four cups of flour and mix until a dough forms, then cover and let rise for at least one hour.

After an hour, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, baking soda and powder and mix. I use my hands to make sure the dough completely comes together. Flour your workspace and roll the dough with a rolling pin until it’s thin and somewhat rectangular, then brush with melted butter (as much as you want) and generously cover with cinnamon and sugar. Drops balls of your favorite cookie dough all over the cinnamon roll dough, then starting with the end away from you, roll the dough into a line towards you. Slice the rolls about 1 inch thick and lay in pans (I use aluminum 9 inch cake pans) that have been brushed with melted butter. Let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes.

Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
