Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This step sets a tremendous foundation for the rolls, giving them the structure needed to rise beautifully.
-
Stir in the melted butter and milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly tacky, ready to embrace the filling.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. This fragrant blend is what makes these rolls so tremendously appealing.
-
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a thin layer of melted butter over the surface, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top. The key here is even distribution, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
-
Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log shape. Once rolled, cut the log into 1-inch slices—this is where the magic happens as those glorious swirls are revealed.
-
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart to allow for expansion during baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. The aroma wafting from the oven will be tremendous, hinting at the deliciousness to come.
-
For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This frosting adds a rich layer of flavor that balances perfectly with the sweet rolls.
-
Spread the frosting over the warm rolls straight from the oven, letting it melt slightly for a dreamy glaze. Serve warm and enjoy every soft and fluffy bite.
