Time 2h55m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 packages active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (105 to115 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
⅔ cup cocoa powder
½ cup shortening
½ cup lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1 cup white sugar, divided
2 large eggs eggs
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, or to taste, divided
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Stir in 2 1/2 cups flour, cocoa, shortening, milk, 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turn greased side-up, and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9x13-inch baking pans.
  • Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll each half into a 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread each rectangle with 2 tablespoons butter. Mix remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Sprinkle half of the mix over each rectangle. Roll up, beginning at the wide side; pinch edges of dough into the roll to seal well. Stretch the roll to make even.
  • Cut each roll into 15 slices. Place slightly apart in the prepared pans. Let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While rolls bake, mix confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Frost rolls while still warm.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon rolls, but these were actually really good. The dough was soft and fluffy, and the filling was sweet and gooey. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who loves cinnamon rolls.

These cinnamon rolls were okay, but not great. The dough was a little dry and the filling was a little too sweet. I think I would have liked them better if the dough had been more moist and the filling had been less sweet.

I was disappointed with these cinnamon rolls. The dough was tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making these again.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The dough was nice and fluffy, and the filling was gooey and flavorful. I think next time I'll try using a different frosting recipe to cut down on the sweetness.
