Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the Dough: \u00be cup warm milk (110\u00b0F), 2\u00bc tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast, \u00bc cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, \u00bc cup unsalted butter (melted), 3\u00bc cups all-purpose flour, \u00be tsp salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Filling: \u00bd cup unsalted butter (softened), \u00be cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp ground cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Cream Cheese Frosting: 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 3 tbsp unsalted butter (softened), \u00be cup powdered sugar, \u00bd tsp vanilla extract, 1\u20132 tbsp milk (to thin, if needed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Warm the milk to about 110\u00b0F and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and let it sit for 5\u201310 minutes until foamy.
\u2022 Add the sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
\u2022 Add flour and salt. Mix until the dough starts to come together, then knead by hand or with a dough hook for 8\u201310 minutes until soft and elastic.
\u2022 Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1\u00bd hours until doubled in size.
\u2022 Meanwhile, make the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a thick paste.
\u2022 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 14×9-inch rectangle.
\u2022 Spread the cinnamon filling evenly across the dough.
\u2022 Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log and cut into 9 even rolls.
\u2022 Place the rolls in a buttered 9×9-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30\u201340 minutes, until puffy.
\u2022 Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Bake rolls for 22\u201326 minutes, until just golden on top and soft in the center.
\u2022 While they bake, make the frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of milk until smooth and spreadable.
\u2022 Spread frosting over warm rolls as soon as they come out of the oven so it melts into every swirl. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Add-Ons & Variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maple twist: Add \u00bd tsp maple extract to the frosting.
Nutty: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts into the filling before rolling.
