Cinnamon Roll Filling
– Roll dough into a 14x9 inch rectangle on a surface dusted with cocoa powder.
– Spread softened butter on top, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and chocolate chips.
– Tightly roll dough into the shape of a log starting with the short side. Trim and discard uneven ends then cut into ten 1-inch rolls with a serrated knife.
– Grease a round 10-inch baking pan then line with parchment paper. Arrange cinnamon rolls in the pan, swirl-side-up, then cover with plastic wrap and a dry, warm towel. Allow to rise until doubled in size, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
