Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Rolls

3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine, divided
1/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Glaze
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons hot water

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt. Cut in 2 tablespoons of the butter until crumbly. Add the milk, egg yolk and yeast mixture; stir well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 10-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Melt remaining butter; brush butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and remaining sugar.

Sprinkle over dough, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 1-in. slices; place cut side down in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. In a bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm. Makes 6 rolls.
