Easiest Cinnamon Rolls Ever!


I decided to be a domestic lady yesterday and made cinnamon rolls for the kid's breakfast. They were soooo easy because of the bread maker doing the work for the dough and they tasted delicious (what little nibble I took). I will definitely make these again!

"Save yourself a lot of money by making your own homemade cinnamon rolls! The dough is made in the bread machine and everything else is done by hand."
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour (I used all-purpose)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (I used what I had-didn't say bread machine)
 
1 cup brown sugar, packed 
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

Frosting:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese,
softened 
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

I just made a powdered (snow as we call it) sugar and milk and vanilla mixture and poured it on top. Little less calories and still yummy, but I'll be that frosting is AMAZING! Now Phil is mad because there might be cream cheese on his favorite cinnabons!
DIRECTIONS:
1.Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
2.After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3.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 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4.Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
