📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Dough
2
In a small saucepan, make the tangzhong by whisking together the water and all-purpose flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes until the mixture is a paste-like slurry. Scrape it into a bowl and set it aside until you're ready to use it.
3
In a stand mixer bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the cream, milk, egg, vanilla, and tangzhong to the bowl. Knead on low speed with the dough hook for ⏱️ 2 minutes, until the dough forms a rough ball.

4
With the mixer running on low, add the softened butter one tablespoon at a time, letting it fully incorporate before adding more. Then, continue kneading for an additional ⏱️ 10-12 minutes, or until the dough appears smooth and elastic. Then knead in the sprinkles just until combined.
5
Transfer the dough to a separate bowl, cover it, and set it aside while you make the filling.
6
Make the Sugar Cookie Filling
7
In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
8
In the same mixer bowl used for the dough, cream the butter and sugar together for ⏱️ 2 minutes.
9
Mix in the egg, cream, and vanilla until combined.

Assemble the Rolls
12
Line a metal 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
13
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 15x21" rectangle, with the longest side closest to you. Spread the sugar cookie filling across the entire surface of the dough.
14
Use a pizza cutter to cut twelve 1 3/4-inch strips. Roll each strip away from you, then place each one into the prepared baking pan.
15
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and set it aside to rise for ⏱️ 1-2 hours, or until the rolls have doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325°F (162 °C).
16
Bake for ⏱️ 30-40 minutes, or until the center roll's internal temperature reaches 185°F.
17
While baking, make the frosting.
18
Whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Once baked, let the rolls cool on a wire rack for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes, then pour the icing over the tops. Garnish with mini sugar cookies and extra sprinkles, then serve warm!
