Finished with a luscious cream cheese glaze mixed with the cinnamon roll icing, these treats are perfect for breakfast or dessert lovers craving an indulgent pastry experience.

Ingredients

Cinnamon Rolls

  • 1 tube (17.5 oz) Pillsbury Grand Cinnamon Rolls (including the icing)

Cookie Dough

  • 1 tube (16 oz) sheet ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough, kneaded until soft

Icing

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Included icing from the cinnamon roll package

Instructions

  1. Prepare the workspace: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Unroll cinnamon rolls: Carefully unroll the tube of cinnamon rolls onto a flat, non-stick surface without tearing or separating the individual rolls. Keep the dough intact as one large rectangle.
  3. Roll out cookie dough: On the same or another flat non-stick surface, roll or flatten the softened cookie dough into a ½-inch thick rectangle, matching the width and length of the unrolled cinnamon roll dough for even layering.
  4. Layer the doughs: Lay the rectangle of cookie dough evenly over the rectangle of cinnamon roll dough, covering it completely to form two layers.
  5. Roll together: Starting from one end, carefully roll both the cookie dough and cinnamon roll dough together into a tight log, ensuring the layers stay aligned.
  6. Slice the rolls: Using a thin string or a sharp knife, cut the combined roll into 5 equal portions. If using string, slide it under the roll, tie a loose knot, and pull gently yet firmly to make a clean cut. If using a knife, rock it back and forth while holding the roll steady to prevent flattening.
  7. Position and bake: Place each sliced roll approximately 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Make the icing: While the rolls bake, microwave the softened cream cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds until very soft. Mix it thoroughly with the icing provided in the cinnamon roll package until smooth and creamy.
  9. Cool and drizzle: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack or the baking sheet. Drizzle the cream cheese and cinnamon roll icing mixture generously over the warm rolls.
  10. Serve: Enjoy these indulgent chocolate chip cookie cinnamon rolls warm for a decadent breakfast or dessert treat.

Notes

  • For best results, let the cookie dough come to room temperature before rolling to ensure easier handling.
  • If you don’t have string to cut the rolls, use a very sharp serrated knife to avoid flattening the dough.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone or a mild ricotta for a different but still creamy icing texture.
  • Ensure rolls are spaced apart while baking to prevent sticking and to allow even cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
