Instructions

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, egg, food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for about an hour.
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out the dough and spread the filling evenly; add chocolate chips if desired. Roll tightly and slice into 12 pieces.
Place rolls in a baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes.
