Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir in warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla; mix until a dough forms. Knead until smooth.

  7. Drizzle and Enjoy!: Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

Notes

Knead with love and ensure yeast is active by checking in warm milk. Storing in an airtight container keeps them fresh.
