Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

We LOVE cinnamon rolls at our house!  When I came across this recipe I just knew they would be great and I needed to make them.  I have made this recipe a few different times now and the first time I made these I shocked myself that I was able to make these, they are so easy. 



Cinnamon Rolls
Adapted from Deals to Meals

1 cup warm milk
1/3 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
4 cup flour
1 Tbsp yeast
Put warm milk, sugar and yeast into your mixer and mix for a minute until combined. Let the yeast grow until foamy and bubbly (about 5-10 minutes). Then add the eggs, butter, flour, and salt and combine until smooth and mixed together. Let dough sit in the bowl until it has doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours). When it has doubled, put a small amount of flour on the counter and pour the dough onto the counter. Roll dough out until it measures 16 inches x 21 inches. 

Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup melted butter
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Crumble on top of dough.  On the longest side roll up, and cut into 16 equal parts.
Place rolls on greased cookie sheet 4 across and 4 down. Cover with greased plastic wrap or light towel. Let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes.

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
Frost 1-2 minutes after finished baking.  

My Notes:
I like to use canned cream cheese frosting and it tastes just as great and a little bit quicker.
