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. âPatty Wynn Pardeevlle, Wisconsin Ingredients:
4 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°) |
3 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup honey |
4 teaspoons salt |
14 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
filling: |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1 package (12 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
glaze: |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
6 to 8 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
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.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turning once. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into four pieces. Roll each into a 14-in. x 8-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 four greased 13-in. x 9-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 achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: 4 dozen.
