Ingredients
- 1 tube (17.5 oz) Pillsbury Grand Cinnamon Rolls plus the icing that comes with them
- 1 tube (16 oz) sheet ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough kneaded until soft
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cinnamon rolls. Unroll the cinnamon rolls out on a flat non-stick surface without breaking them apart.
- Roll out cookie dough. Place the cookie dough on the flat non-stick surface and use a rolling pin or clean hands to roll it into a ½-inch thick rectangle that is the same width and length as the unrolled cinnamon rolls.
Assemble
- Lay the rectangle of cookie dough over the rectangle of cinnamon roll dough and roll the cinnamon rolls and cookie dough up together.
- Use a thin string or sharp knife to cut the rolls apart into 5 separate rolls. If using a string, slide the string under the roll, tie a loose knot, and slowly but firmly tighten the knot until it has cut through the roll. If using a knife, firmly hold the roll and rock the knife back and forth to cut so that it doesn’t flatten the dough.
Bake
- Place the rolls about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Set them aside to slightly cool while you make the icing.
Make the icing
- In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 30 seconds (or until very soft) and mix it with the icing from the cinnamon roll package until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the chocolate chip cookie stuffed cinnamon rolls and serve.
Notes
- Make it ahead. Set up your cookie dough cinnamon rolls, cover them, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking them.
- Choose the right cinnamon rolls. Pillsbury original cinnamon rolls do not unroll like the Grands brand does. Be sure to grab the right ones.
- Double the recipe. If you are making this for a get-together, this recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled!
