I found this recipe in one of my mother's old cookbooks. My family doesn't like raisins, so they were thrilled to hear it contains chocolate chips instead.

Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 6 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons hot water

Directions

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt. Cut in 2 tablespoons of the butter until crumbly. Add the milk, egg yolk and yeast mixture; stir well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 10-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Melt remaining butter; brush butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and remaining sugar. Sprinkle over dough, then sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1-in. slices; place cut side down in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm. Yield: 6 rolls.

    Editor's Note: Rolls may be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave before serving if desired.

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas
