For Icing:

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups confectioner's sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the milk for 45-60 seconds in the microwave.

    In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warmed milk.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Using your hands dusted lightly with flour, knead dough into a large ball.

  5. 5

    Spray a bowl with cooking spray, add the ball and cover tightly with plastic wrap.

  6. 6

    Let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, thoroughly combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

  8. 8

    Coat the rolling surface with cooking spray or sprinkle flour on it.

  9. 9

    Roll dough to about ¼ inch thickness into a 16 X 21 inch rectangle.

    Spread ⅓ cup softened butter over dough and sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over dough.

    Starting with the longer side, roll up dough. Cut into 12 large rolls.

    Cover and let rise about 30 minutes, until nearly doubled.
