Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Classic Roll Dough find recipe on our site

Filling

  • 6 Tablespoons butter, soft divided
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons cinnamon, ground

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cut dough in half. Roll out the first half on a clean, dry and lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to approximately 21 inches x 16 inches, in a large rectangle.
  • Spread half the butter over the dough.
  • In a small mixing bowl blend together with a fork, the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Spread half of the brown sugar mix over the dough.
  • Roll up the dough starting on the one of the longer sides.
  • Slice the long roll into 12 even slices. Use a serrated knife, gently saw back and forth so you do not squish the dough too much. If you are on a roll mat, make sure and place a small cutting board under where you are cutting so you do not have cut marks on your roll mat.
  • Prepare 2 - 9x13 dishes by lightly greasing or spraying with oil. Or just one dish if you have cut the recipe in half.
  • Place the rolls in the prepared dish. Cover in a warm, dry place for about 30 minutes to rise.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
  • While baking, prepare the frosting by using a mixer to blend the butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese and salt.
  • Spread the frosting over warm rolls so it kind of melts down, and goes into all the cracks and spaces
  • Once they are fully cooled, cover with plastic wrap to keep fresh for a few days. Reheat 1 at a time in the microwave for 10 seconds.
