- 4 Tbs cinnamon
Cream Cheese Icing:
- 1/4 butter (softened)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in milk, and sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit (few minutes). Add eggs, butter, sugar and salt
- Lightly mix, breaking up eggs with spatula
- Gently mix in the flour, folding dough, until dough is able to be handled *it will be tacky, but refrain from adding more flour, since more flour will be added when kneading dough
- Begin kneading dough on lightly floured surface for 8-10min. If needed, you can slowly sprinkle in more flour
- Place ball of dough in greased bowl, cover with towel, let rest until dough has doubled in size – around 1hr
- While dough is resting, make your filling
- Filling: Add butter, brown sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, stir until mixed thoroughly. Set aside
- When dough has doubled, punch down dough, and roll out onto floured surface. Roll into 12 by 15-inch rectangle, and use spatula to spread 1/2 – 3/4 of filling over the whole dough rectangle
- Starting on the 15″ side, role dough up, and pinch edge to seal. Cut into 12 slices
- Add butter into baking pan, and lightly sprinkle in remaining filling. Place 12 slices into baking pan
- Cover pan, and let rolls rise until doubled, around 30min
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Once rolls have doubled, pour over heavy cream (not hot, room temp.), and let soak into the dough
- Bake at 350° for 22-25 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown
- While rolls cool, make filling. Add butter, and softened cream cheese, blending well. Slowly add and powered sugar, and mix until combined
- Spread frosting onto rolls, and enjoy
