Cookie Dough
- 1 roll pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough (about 16 oz)
Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 can cinnamon rolls (with icing/frosting, about 8 rolls)
- Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the rolls.
- Roll Out Cookie Dough. Remove the cookie dough from its packaging and gently roll it out on a flat surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, ensuring it’s large enough to wrap each cinnamon roll individually.
- Cut Cookie Dough Around Cinnamon Rolls. Lay each separated cinnamon roll on the rolled-out cookie dough. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut around the base of each cinnamon roll so you have cookie dough pieces slightly larger than each roll.
- Wrap Cinnamon Rolls. Take each cinnamon roll and wrap it completely with the corresponding piece of cookie dough, sealing the edges carefully to encase the cinnamon roll inside the cookie dough.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet. Place the wrapped rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake. Bake the stuffed rolls in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cookie dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Frost. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the provided cinnamon roll frosting over the warm rolls before serving to add extra sweetness and moisture.
Notes
- Ensure the cookie dough fully covers the cinnamon rolls to prevent leaking during baking.
- You can substitute homemade cookie dough or cinnamon rolls if preferred.
- Serve warm for the best melty, gooey texture.
- Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
- For a fun variation, add chopped nuts or drizzle with chocolate syrup after frosting.
