Chocolate chip cinnamon rolls

These were such a hit tonight I thought I would post the recipe. I married 2 recipes that I found with some of my own ingenuity and these were born. I wish I had a digital camera as these came out damn pretty and taste fantastic:

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 (.25 ounce) package rapid rise yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup butter

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, beaten

4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 c brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 TBSP butter, melted

1 c semi sweet mini chocolate chip morsels

In a large bowl mix 3 c flour with 1 tsp sugar, 3/4 tsp salt, and package of yeast. In a separate bowl mix butter, milk and water. Heat this in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds till warm (approx 110 degrees). Meanwhile using a wooden spoon, blend eggs into flour mixture. Beat in warm liquids and gradually add the last 1 c of flour. Knead the dough 3-5 minutes adding more flour if necessary. Knead until dough losses stickiness and form into a ball. Put dough in the bowl and cover with a cloth, set aside for 10 minutes. In a small bowl mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Once 10 minutes is up roll out dough onto a floured surface. Grease 2 9 inch glass pie plates. Brush surface of rolled out dough with 2 TBSP melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon mixture and chocolate chips all over, leaving 1/2 inch border around the edge. Starting at long side, tightly roll up, pinching seam to seal. Using dental floss, string or a knife cut the dough in 1 to 1 1/2 inch increments, placing each roll in prepared plates. Brush the tops of the rolls with remaining 2 TBSP of butter. Set aside and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375. After rising bake for 18-22 minutes (mine take about 19 minutes). Serve warm and gooey - OHHH so awesome. My guests were moaning with pleasure and begged to take some home. Enjoy and don’t count the calories- just enjoy.
