Ingredients
- 1⁄4 ounce dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1⁄4 cups skim milk, warmed (105 To 115F)
- 1⁄4 cup margarine, melted
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 cups bread flour, divided
- 1⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons skim milk

Directions
- Dissolve yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar in 1 1/4 cups warm milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
- Add margarine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and egg; stir well.
- Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour, cocoa, and salt to form a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
- Punch dough down.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 16 x 8 inch rectangle.
- Brush egg white over entire surface.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over dough.
- Starting at long side, roll up dough tightly, jelly-roll fashion; pinch seam to seal (do not seal ends of roll).
- Cut roll into 16 (1-inch) slices, using string or dental floss.
- Arrange slices, cut sides up, in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
- Preheat oven to 350F; bake rolls at 350F for 20 minutes.
- Combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; stir well.
- Drizzle over rolls.
