Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, salt, melted butter, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
• Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 rolls.
• Place rolls in the prepared baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, beating until light and fluffy. Tint with blue food coloring.
• Let the rolls cool slightly before frosting. Decorate with blue frosting, candy eyes, and mini chocolate chip cookies.
