• Take the cinnamon roll dough from the refrigerator and place it on top of the parchment that's resting on the chocolate chip dough and roll it out to match the size.
• Flip the parchment to layer the doughs on top of each other. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon onto the cinnamon roll dough then roll the 2 doughs into tight a log.
