Instructions

In small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, let stand 5 minutes until foamy and active.

In large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt, creating well in center.

Add yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture, mixing until shaggy dough forms.

Knead dough on floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.

Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled.

Meanwhile, make brown butter by cooking butter in saucepan until golden and nutty-scented.

Let brown butter cool slightly, then whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, and flour.

Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to brown butter mixture, stirring until smooth.

Make cookie crumb topping by combining flour, brown sugar, cold butter, cinnamon, and salt.

Use fingers or pastry cutter to create coarse crumbs, then stir in chocolate chips.

Punch down risen dough and roll into 18x14 inch rectangle on floured surface.

Spread brown butter cookie filling evenly over dough, leaving 1/2 inch border on edges.

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and semi-sweet chips evenly over cookie filling.

Lightly dust with cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor throughout the rolls.

Roll dough tightly from long side, pinching seam to seal completely and evenly.

Cut roll into 12 equal pieces using sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.

Place rolls cut-side up in greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spacing slightly apart.

Cover and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour until rolls are puffy and nearly touching.

Preheat oven to 350°F during final 15 minutes of rising time for proper temperature.

Brush tops of rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with cookie crumb topping.

Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F.

While rolls bake, make brown butter glaze by browning butter until golden and fragrant.

Whisk powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, salt, and brown sugar into brown butter until smooth.

Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before glazing for best texture.

Drizzle brown butter glaze generously over warm rolls, allowing it to soak in slightly.

Garnish with extra chocolate chips and optional sea salt flakes for gourmet finish.

Serve warm for optimal texture and flavor, storing leftovers covered at room temperature.

Reheat individual portions in microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore soft texture.
