Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Rolls

  Desserts

I started adding chocolate chips to my cinnamon rolls because several children didn't like the raisins in them. The chocolate and cinnamon are a fun flavor combination. My family loves them, and so does my Sunday school class.

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Add the milk, butter, eggs, honey, salt and 3 cups flour; beat on low for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

  • 3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into 4 pieces. Roll each into a 14x8-in. rectangle; spread with butter. Combine the brown sugar, chips and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges and press into dough.
  • 4. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut each into 12 slices. Place cut side down in 4 greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • 5. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.
  • 6. For glaze, in a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls.
