Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

I don't really have much to talk about today, and I try to change up the blog stuff each Sunday, so since a few people have asked about the Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls I thought I would post the recipe for all to try - they are super good!

Rolls
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk, 105-110 degrees
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
Filling
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, softened
Icing
8 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese, 2 ounces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt


1. For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.

2. Mix together the sugar, margarine, salt, and eggs. Add the flour and mix well.

3. Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Put the dough in a bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

4. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Roll flat until it is approximately 21" long and 16" wide (it should be about 1/2" thick).

5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

6. For the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the softened margarine evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar mixture evenly over the surface.

7. Working carefully from the top (a 21" side), roll the dough down to the bottom edge.

8. Cut the rolled sough into 1 3/4" slices and place evenly placed in a lightly greased baking pan. Let the rolls rise again until doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).

9. Bake for 10 minutes, or until light brown on top.

10. While the rolls bake, combine the icing ingredients, beating well with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

11. When the rolls come out of the oven, coat each generously with icing.
