Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For the Rolls: Dissolve yeast in milk that is between 100-110 degrees F. Add the sugar and let sit (proof) for 5 mins until slightly foamy.
  2. Melt the butter in the microwave.
  3. In large bowl, add flour, salt, melted butter, and yeast mixture. (Can also use KitchenAid with dough hook attachment). Mix ingredients on low, adding eggs one at a time, continue mixing until dough ball is formed, knead for about 3-5 minutes, then set aside in bowl covered with moist towel and let rise for 1 hour.
  4. Now make the filling: Combine brown sugar, flour, corn starch, and cinnamon in small bowl. Mix well.
  5. After dough has risen, punch down dough and roll out on lightly floured surface until it's abou 20-24 inches long and 16 inches wide. (should be about a 1/4 inch thick).
  6. Spread softened butter (or Smart Balance Spread) over dough. Top with brown sugar mixture. Working from the long side, roll the dough (like a jelly roll), I go from bottom to top, but do whatever's easiest for you.
  7. Cut the rolled dough in half, then in quarters. Now you should have 4 equal logs of dough. Cut each log into 3 equal pieces giving you 12 rolls.
  8. Place 6 rolls on lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan (so you should have 2 pans of 6 rolls each).
  9. Cover pans with moist towel (any clean kitchen towel will do) and let rise in a warm place for another hour.
  10. At this point, you can also refrigerate (covered with plastic wrap) and keep for the next day- just take out of fridge at least 30-45 minutes before baking).
  11. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  12. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until they are lightly golden on top.
  13. While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by creaming the cream cheese along with the other ingredients using an electric mixer (I use hand mixer). Combine until smooth and creamy.
  14. When rolls are done, remove from oven and cool for about 4 minutes, then spread icing on top of rolls. Enjoy.
