📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the cinnamon roll dough: Heat the milk, ensuring that it does not exceed 110°F. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the milk and wait a few minutes for the mixture to become foamy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
milk (lukewarm (110°F))1 cup
2
Place the milk in the bowl of a stand mixer with the eggs, butter, flour, salt, and the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar. Mix to combine. Use the dough hook attachment to knead the dough for about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. The dough should be very sticky.

3
Grease a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Spray some nonstick cooking spray on top of the dough and cover the bowl with a towel. Set the bowl in a warm place and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size. Depending on the temperature of your house, this could take between 60 and ⏱️ 90 minutes. When doubled, punch down the dough and let it rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
4
To make the cinnamon roll filling: Combine the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until this becomes a paste. Set aside.

5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 15x20-inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon roll filling evenly over the dough. Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough and pinch the edge to seal. Cut the dough into 12 segments.
6
Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Place the dough slices in the pan, cover with a towel, and allow the cinnamon rolls to rise for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
8
Bake the cinnamon rolls for ⏱️ 25 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through. Your time may vary, depending on how thick the rolls are. Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let cool in the pan for about ⏱️ 10 minutes.
9
To make the Cinnabon frosting: Combine the margarine, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Spread the frosting over the cinnamon rolls.
