You can make these in a bread machine or without one. Either way, they’re perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Or even make them ahead to have them on hand for breakfast through the week. I decided to add some raw cookie dough to the cinnamon sugar that was rolled up in the dough, and also used crumbs of Oreos and chocolate chip cookies to really pack in the cookie bits.

I used a blue and teal gel color to get this particular color on the dough, but you can always go more blue or more teal depending on how you like your cookie monster!

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

1 C. Hot Water
1 Tbsp. Butter
1 Whole Large Egg
2 Egg Whites
1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Blue Food Coloring
1/4 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Natural Sweetener
4 C. Whole Wheat White Flour (Spooned & Leveled Properly)
1/2 Tsp. Salt
2 1/4 Tsp. Active Dry Yeast (Or 1 Package.)

Filling

3 Tbsp. Butter, Room Temperature
1/4 C. Natural Sweetener
2 Tbsp. Sweetener/Brown Sugar Blend
1/2 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
2 Raw Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookies
Crushed Oreo Cookies
Crushed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Drizzle

1/2 C. Powdered Sugar Replacement
1/4 C. Powdered Sugar
1 Tbsp. Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Optional: More Crushed Oreo Cookies or Crushed Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Instructions

Bread Machine: Place the ingredients for the cinnamon rolls into a bread machine in the order listed and set it to the 'dough cycle' setting.
No Bread Machine: If you do not have a bread machine, you can combine the hot water and yeast into a bowl and allow the yeast to activate and foam up. Once the yeast is active you can combine the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the hook attachment or knead by hand. Spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray and place dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to sit for an hour until doubled in size.
Once the dough cycle has ended or the dough has risen for its first time. Punch it down and remove the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle.
Mix together the 3 Tbsp. Butter, 1/4 C. sweetener, 2 Tbsp. brown sugar blend, and 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon for the filling.
Spread the filling out over the rolled out dough and top with pieces of the 2 refrigerated cookies and half of the crushed cookies.
Roll the dough into a tight, long, skinny log. Cut into about 14 equal pieces. (I had 4 leftover ‘end pieces’.) I use floss to do this! Yes. Floss.
Lightly spray two rounded 8 inch cake pans or a 13x9 with non-stick baking spray and place the cinnamon rolls into the prepared pan(s). Cover lightly with a tea towel and place in a warm dry place to allow them to rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Once ready, remove the plastic wrap and bake the cinnamon rolls for about 25 minutes.
In the mean time, combine the 1/2 C. powdered sugar replacement, 1/4 C. powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. milk, and 1/4 Tsp. vanilla extract together in a bowl and whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and allow to cool slightly before drizzling the frosting over the top. Top with a few extra cookie crumbs if desired and enjoy!
