– 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
Creating these Delicious Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare the Filling: While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
5. Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle (about 16×24 inches). Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly. Add the chocolate chips on top.
6. Roll and Cut: Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes or until puffy.
8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
9. Cool and Ice: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes. Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the warm rolls.
With these clear steps, you’ll create an incredible batch of Delicious Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls that everyone will adore!
