Ingredients
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk warmed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-4 tbsp milk to adjust consistency
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough : In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare the Filling : In a small bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips (if using). Mix well until combined.
- Roll and Assemble : On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into equal pieces.
- Bake the Rolls : Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Make the Frosting : In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Adjust the consistency with milk as needed.
- Frost and Serve : Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly. Spread the cream cheese frosting over warm rolls and serve.
