Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Who smells the Cinnabon at the mall and doesn't want one? Not me. I want one every time, but never buy one (mainly because I'm sure the calorie count is sky high). On occasion, I've been known to buy one for Madison while we're shopping... and steal a few glorious bites.

I made the dough for this in my new bread machine, but you can make it by hand and then pick up this recipe mid-way.

Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Adapted from www.allrecipes.com

Ingredients

Dough:

1 c warm milk

2 eggs, room temp

1/3 c margarine, melted

4 1/2 c bread flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 c white sugar

2 1/2 tsp yeast

Filling:

2 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/3 butter, melted

Icing:

3 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 c butter, softened

1 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp salt

Directions

Place dough ingredients into your bread machine. Select dough cycle and hit start.

After the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients.

Roll dough into a 16x21 rectangle (or as close as you can get it). Spread filling mixture over dough all the way to the edges. Roll up dough from the long side and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Bake rolls until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 c butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls (not hot rolls because it will run too much). Enjoy!
