Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
3. – Add the milk and melted butter and stir just until a soft dough forms.
4. – Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12×8-inch rectangle.
5. – In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
6. – Starting from the short side, tightly roll up the dough. Cut into 9 equal pieces and place in the prepared baking pan.
7. – Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
8. – While the rolls bake, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until creamy.
9. – Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
For even softer rolls, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes before rolling and cutting. You can also make the dough a day in advance, cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble and bake.
