Copycat Cinnabons 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

Instructions

1. 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.
2. To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.
3. Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated.
