Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened

For the Frosting

  • 0.5 cup cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1-2 minutes until it's smooth. It will still be a bit sticky.
  • Roll the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Spread the softened butter over the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  • Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough.
  • Cut the roll into 12 equal slices. Place the slices cut-side up in the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls.

Notes

These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed warm.
