Cinnabon Replica

The scrumptulescent sugar/cinnamon mixture is what makes this delicious treat unforgettable

I used to hate shopping for clothes as a kid. Hated it. My very patient mother would lead me through each store in the mall, and when our minds (my mother) and bodies (me) were exhausted, she rewarded me with half a Cinnabon. All those cursed stores were suddenly worth it. My mouth is watering just remembering it. I found a recipe I believe mimics this tastiness perfectly. Good luck fellow cinna-lovers.

1 cup warm milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tsp yeast

1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 TBSP cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

Frosting

3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Mix in sugar, butter, salt, and eggs. Add flour and mix well. Knead into a large ball. Put into greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour in oven. Meanwhile, combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled (about 30 minutes).

Preheat oven to 400'. Bake rolls about 15 minutes in oven until golden brown. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls and proceed to heaven.
