Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast

- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, and sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate chips evenly before rolling tightly.
- Slice into rolls and place them in a greased baking pan; allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare cream cheese frosting by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together; frost the rolls while they are still hot.
