Very Simple Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

Dear Turkey,

I can't be bothered

To make cinnamon rolls that

Take hours of work

Very Simple Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

(makes 12, barely adapted from budget bytes)

Ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2.5 c flour

- 1 t salt

- 1 T sugar

- 4 t baking powder

- 1 pint heavy cream or whole milk

For the filling:

- 4 T butter

- 1/2 c brown sugar

- 2 T cinnamon

- 1/2 c milk chocolate chips (or whatever kind you have)

For the frosting:

- 1 1/4 c powdered sugar

- 1 T cocoa

- 1/2 t vanilla 

- 4 t heavy cream 

Instructions:

- With your hands, knead the dough ingredients just until a ball forms. Generously flour a piece of wax paper and roll out the dough (with plenty of flour!) until it's about the size of a cookie sheet.

- Melt the butter and combine it with the brown sugar and cinnamon; dollop this around the rectangle of dough and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. 

- Roll up the dough (in the direction that will give you the longer spiral of filling) and slice into 12 rounds. Place these in a well-buttered baking dish (they can be touching). Bake at 400 F for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are just starting to darken. Cool completely.

- Combine the frosting ingredients and spread on top of the rolls. Strangely, I found these to be better on day 2.

Enjoy,

Tofu
