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. —Patty Wynn Pardeevlle, Wisconsin

Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 25 min./batch

Yield: 48 Servings

45 25 70

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 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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.
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.

Editor’s Note: This recipe can be halved to fit into a mixing bowl.

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

This is a really tasty recipe. I made it on Christmas Eve. I only had regular morsels, but it didn't make a difference. The honey gives it a nice taste.

I made these today, and I must say, they turned out awesome, In fact I had to take a picture of them. I only made one change, I halfed the recipe as I didnt want 4 dozen, and I also sprinkled cinnamon sugar on the dough before puttin the chocolate chip mixture on there, as we like alot of cinnomon flavor in ours. YUMMY!
