Copy Cat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

INGREDIENTS

Dough

• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
• 1 cup milk lukewarm
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened, or margarine
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

• 1 cup brown sugar packed
• 3 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened, or margarine

Cream Cheese Icing

• 6 tbsp butter unsalted, softened, or margarine
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar also known as icing sugar, or confectioner's sugar
• 1/4 cup cream cheese at room temperature
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt

• For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar (you can take a tsp out of the 1/2 cup of sugar) in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is good, it will start to froth up.
• To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.
• Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated.
• Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
• Spread the 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
• Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
• Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!
• While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
• When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.
