cinnamon3 tablespoons
2
Make the sweet yeast dough as directed in the recipe through the first rise.
3
After the first rise, knead the dough several times and let rest on the counter for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Divide the dough in half and work with one half of the dough at a time. Roll the dough into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle. Be patient with the dough.

4
Spread 1/2 of the butter (1/4 cup) on the rectangle. Spread it to the edges, leaving 1 inch section bare on one of the 12 inch sides. Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar filling on top.
5
Roll up tightly starting with the 12 inch side. Cut into 1-1.5 inch sections with dental floss or a very sharp knife. Place 3/4 inch apart in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough.
6
Cover and let rise until double, ⏱️ 20-30 minutes. Time will vary based on how warm the room is. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the rolls for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown on top.
7
While the rolls are baking, make the frosting, beat together the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, salt and enough of the milk to make a spreadable consistency.

Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Frost the rolls while they are still warm so the frosting will melt a bit.

They are best served warm, but will keep a couple of days.
