- 1 tablespoon warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
- 1 1/8 cups 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 degrees F)
- 1 egg yolk

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.
