**Death By Cinnamon Rolls**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 packet active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. Warm the milk in a saucepan or in the microwave until it reaches about 110°F. Pour the warm milk into a large mixing bowl and add the granulated sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture and whisk until well combined. Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a sticky dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the filling. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough.
5. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
8. Once the cinnamon rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm and enjoy the ooey-gooey goodness!
