butter (softened)

butter

cream cheese

vanilla extract

milk (or heavy cream, as needed)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. (see note)

In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) stir together 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

In a glass/liquid measuring cup combine milk and butter and microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each, until butter is mostly melted and milk is very warm. (see note) Add milk mixture and egg to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead for 5 minutes, then transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise for 10 minutes.

Prepare the dough

Roll dough into a large rectangle (about 15x12 inches) and rub softened butter all over the top of the dough.

Stir together sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over butter, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges bare.

Tightly (but gently) roll the dough from one long side toward the other. Pinch the seam to seal off the length of the dough.

Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut into 12 equal-size pieces. Place each cut-side down in your prepared baking pan.

Cover tightly and let rise in a warm dry place for 30 minutes.

Uncover, bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on the top. Allow to cool slightly before frosting.

Make the Cinnamon Rolls

In a medium sauce pan melt butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, continue to stir for 2-3 minutes longer until color changes from pale yellow to deep golden. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl cream together the browned butter, cream cheese, and vanilla.

Alternate mixing in 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until icing is smooth and fluffy. Mix in a pinch of salt for added richness, then spread over cinnamon rolls.

Serve immediately or cover tightly and store at room temperature up to three days. Reheat individual rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

water

unsalted

Tablespoons cinnamon

In a large bowl, mix the flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast together until evenly dispersed. Set aside. In a small microwavable bowl, heat the water, milk, and butter together in the microwave until the butter is melted (about 30-45 seconds). Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture.

Nothing says holiday baking more than cinnamon rolls...except maybe CHOCOLATE cinnamon rolls. These pillow soft cinnamon rolls are filled with chocolate, drizzled wit the most perfect cream cheese icing and absolutely scrumptious. Best part? They’re ready in under an hour.

1 hour Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

¼- 2 ¾ cup all purpose flour

Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast

milk, warm

butter, melted

eggs, room temperature and beaten

chocolate spread*

chocolate chips

In a small saucepan melt the butter. Add the milk to the butter, whisking to combine until the milk is warm. Set aside.

Combine 2 ¼ cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the milk and butter. Add the beaten eggs and use a spatula or your hands to combine. The dough will be wet. If it is too wet to work with add in ¼ cup more of flour.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. The dough should smooth out and become less tacky. Form the dough into a ball and place into a greased bowl. Cover and leave to proof in a warm place for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 9 pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.

Turn the risen dough out onto a liberally floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a 16” x 24” rectangle. The dough should be thin. This means more swirls! Spread the chocolate spread evenly over the rectangle. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and cinnamon.

Working from the long edge, roll the dough into a log, pinching the ends so it stays together. Using floss or a very thin string, cut off the ends of the dough where there is not enough filling. Score the dough into 12 equal pieces and then cut the dough into 12 buns. Place the buns into prepared pan. There will be space between the buns, but they will puff up when they bake!

Bake for 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. If the rolls start to get too brown, cover with tinfoil.

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the powdered sugar, cream, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt. Whisk together until no clumps remain and bring to a simmer. Take off the heat and set aside.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon buns and serve hot!
