Tagalong Cinnamon Rolls
A cinnamon roll recipe that needs no introduction glazed with peanut butter and stuffed with cookies!

Welcome to the cinnamon roll party. You’ve come to the right place for a tasty treat. The king of all peanut butter recipes turns out to be a tagalong cinnamon roll. These cinnamon rolls take a fluffy peanut butter chocolate turn that we finish with even more peanut butter as a glaze. 1000% the most indulgent dessert you will taste all year!
This video is part of a series.

Start with your cinnamon roll dough. This is a very easy brioche dough recipe that will have you making challah by tomorrow. Once it’s ready just let it proof! The idea behind doing a plain brioche dough was to highlight the flavors of the peanut butter the most. You should really see what we did with the Thin Mint & Samoas if you like chocolate!

Time to make the filling! Crush up the tagalong cookies in a food processor to create a crunchy filling. Mix this with sugar, salt, and softened butter to create a delicious peanut butter filling. Thinking about the components of the filling of a tagalong besides the peanut butter, is the chocolate. Go heavy with the chocolate chips!

The glaze is the most important part and also the easiest. This is a peanut butter glaze mixed with softened butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. When thinking about the components of a tagalong, peanut butter was at the center.

These cinnamon rolls are practically perfect with the exception of the topping. It needs a crunchy cookie top to give it that signature Girl Scout cookie flare. Make these for your favorite people or make them for you, but be sure to share. <3

Tagalong Cinnamon Rolls
Yield(s): Makes 16 rolls
15m prep time
30m cook time
2h inactive
For dough:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ice-cold water
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
For filling:
- 4 oz. Tagalong
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup demerara sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For glaze:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese, slightly softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted, as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Preparation
- In a stand mixer equipped with a dough hook, combine together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast on low speed until well combined.
- Add in the cold water, warmed milk, and eggs to the batter on the second lowest speed until the flour is incorporated.
- Increase the speed on the mixer and let the dough mix on medium speed while you add in the cubes of butter gradually.
- Once all butter has been added, increase the speed of the mixer to medium-high speed and let the dough mix for 6 - 7 minutes or until the dough starts to pull away from the sides.
- Remove dough from mixer and place in a greased bowl, then cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, then let dough chill completely in the fridge. Overnight or at least two hours.
- Make the filling by combining the cookies, coarse sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until cookies are fully crumbs. Remove crumbs to a bowl and fold in softened butter until incorporated. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease two 9x13 baking trays.
- Once dough has been cooled remove it to a work surface dusted lightly with flour and sprinkle with more flour. Gently roll the dough into a rectangle shape using a rolling pin measuring 18x24. Do your best to keep it as even rectangle as possible and use extra flour when needed.
- Dust off excess flour with a pastry brush and spread the cookie filling inside from edge to edge. If your filling seizes up, put in the microwave for 5-second increments.
- Once the filling is spread, roll up your dough from the side closest to you slowly and evenly. Cut off the excess dough on either end after it's rolled then measure out 16 even pieces. Use a serrated knife or flavorless floss to cut each and place into prepared baking pan then cover with foil.
- Let rolls rest until doubled in size (around 1 hour) then immediately place in the oven covered to bake for 15 minutes covered, then another 15 minutes uncovered.
- Make the glaze while the rolls are baking whisking together all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- Glaze your hot cinnamon rolls with the glaze and crushed cookies, then let them cool for 10 minutes.
