Make 1/2 batch of Best Dinner Rolls Ever

Filling

• ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Glaze

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp salted butter, softened
• 0.5 - 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 - 1 tablespoons milk

1. Once dough is mixed, transfer to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
2. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12inch by 18inch rectangle.
3. Brush the dough with ½ cup melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
4. Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top. (mine baked much longer, maybe close to 30 minutes)
6. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
7. Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.

Experimental option: Put a portion of the cinnamon/sugar in the bottom of the baking dish instead if in the rolls.
