The BEST Cinnamon Rolls

I've made a these a few times over the past couple of months when we had guests over for breakfast and they've been a hit every time. I've made cinnamon rolls for years but I'd never used BROWN sugar-- if you've never used brown sugar either then you don't know what you're missing. SO GOOD!

Dough
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk

Filling
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon


Directions:
1 For the filling, in a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture

2 Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.

3 In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4 Cut in softened butter (sometimes your hands are the best tools).

5 Stir in milk to form a soft dough.

6 Roll out dough on a lightly floured into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

7 Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.

8 Roll up the rectangle, with a sharp knife slice into 18 small rolls (12 if you want them a little bigger).

9 Bake for 20-25 min at 400°F.

I also top them with cream cheese frosting instead of a glaze because well, cream cheese frosting is too delicious not to be smothered on top of these rolls!

4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and smother on top of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. SO GOOD! Did I mention these are good?
