Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Topping Ingredients
- 1/4 cup blue cookie frosting
- 1/4 cup colorful sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling and Roll
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Evenly distribute the mini chocolate chips across the dough.
- Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the log into 12 equal rolls. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Cover the rolls again with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle the blue cookie frosting over the warm rolls and finish with colorful sprinkles.
