Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls
- Warm 1 cup of milk. In a mixer, combine 3 cups of flour, ½ cup cocoa, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add warm milk, 1 beaten egg, and ¼ cup softened butter. Mix until soft and slightly sticky.
- Cover the bowl and let dough rise in a warm area for 1½ to 2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
- Mix ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup cocoa, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract for the filling.
- Punch down risen dough, roll into a rectangle, spread ¼ cup softened butter and filling. Roll tightly and slice into 9-11 pieces.
- Place sliced rolls in a greased dish, cover, and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake for about 20 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp cocoa, and 2-4 tbsp heavy cream for glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes
For the best results, ensure milk is warm for yeast activation, measure flour accurately, and do not skip the second rise.
