Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 6 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Whisk flour, 1 tablespoon white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Combine 5 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, cider vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in a separate bowl. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until it a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Pat the dough on a heavily floured surface into a thin rectangle. Brush or pour remaining melted butter over dough. Combine chocolate chips, brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining white sugar in a bowl; pour over the buttered dough.

Step 5

Carefully roll the dough up, away from you. Once rolled, pinch the entire seam shut. Cut into six pieces and place each one in a prepared muffin cup.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 14 minutes.

Step 7

While rolls bake, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, remaining 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together for icing. Mix until it becomes desired consistency.
