Making Delicious Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls can be fun and fulfilling. Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt. Mix well.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Form Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.
5. Knead: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate chips.
8. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
9. Add Filling: Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
10. Roll Up: Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log.
11. Slice: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
12. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
15. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
16. Optional Icing: If desired, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk.
