Ingredients

Scale

3 to 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg (plus enough milk to make 1 cup)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup butter (room temperature)
½ cup sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
5 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
1½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare the dough by mixing all dough ingredients until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl covered for 1-2 hours until doubled.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 10-by-16 inches. Spread room temperature butter over it and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Roll tightly from the edge closest to you, pinch seams closed, and cut into even pieces. Place in a greased baking pan and let rise again for about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
For frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Spread over warm rolls.
