Ingredients:
 
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup butter, divided
2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for kneading
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (6 oz.)  Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
2/3 cup milk
Glaze (recipe follows), optional
 
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Lightly grease a 8- or 9-inch-round cake pan.

Melt the 1/4 cup of butter in small, microwave-safe dish until just melted and set aside. Combine the 2/3 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in another small bowl and set aside.

Combine the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, the baking powder and the salt in large bowl.

Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the remaining 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in morsels. Add the milk and stir until dough holds its shape.

Transfer dough to slightly floured board and knead the dough 8 times and form into a ball, flatten slightly.

Cut the dough into 4 wedges. Cut each wedge into four equal pieces. When finished you should have 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Roll each ball in melted butter and then in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Arrange in prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (25 to 30 for 9-inch pan) or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes on wire rack. Carefully invert onto a second wire rack and cool slightly. Invert again onto serving platter.

Drizzle with glaze if desired and serve warm.
