  In large bowl of mixer, beat together butter and cream cheese until mixture is blended. Beat in the egg yolk. Add flour and salt and beat until mixed. Do not overbeat. Turn dough out onto floured wax paper. Form dough into a circle, wrap it in the wax paper and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight. Divide dough in fourths. Roll out one part at a time to measure a 10 inch square. Spread 1/4 of the Chocolate Quick (see recipe below), over the dough. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the chocolate chips. Roll up, jelly roll style to measure a 10 x 3 inch roll. Place seam side down on a 12 x 16 inch Teflon coated baking pan. Repeat with remaining 3 parts dough.
