Steps:

• Using the bread machine instructions, heat the milk to whatever temperature your machine suggests for the dough cycle. Place the dough ingredients into the machine in the order recommended and mix, knead and rise with the dough cycle.
• Butter a 9" X 13" X 2" pan thoroughly.
• Once the dough cycle ends, remove the dough from the machine and punch it down on a buttered countertop. Roll out to a large rectangle, about 30" X 15".
• Warm the butter for the filling to room temperature and spread over the dough evenly. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and the cinnamon, then starting on a long side, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder.
• Slice the dough into 24 equal slices and place each one cut side down in the prepared pan.
• Let rise in a warm place, covered, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Bake the buns for about 22-26 minutes or until browned all over but not too dark.
• While the buns are baking prepare the frosting by combining all ingredients at room temperature and beating very well for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
• Frost the buns in the pan as soon as you remove the pan from the oven. The frosting will melt somewhat into the spaces in between the buns. Cool in the pan and enjoy!

Steps:

• Rolls: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm milk. Stir. Add the sugar. Stir. Add the melted butter, salt and eggs. Stir well. Gradually add the flour and mix well.
• Knead the dough about 5 - 10 minutes. Form into a ball. Lightly dust the dough with flour. Place dough in a bowl, cover it with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven at 400 degrees.
• Roll the dough on lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Roll flat until about ¼ inch thick, approximately 21 inches long, 16 inches wide.
• Filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread softened butter over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar mixture even over the dough. Spread with your hands until dough is completely covered with the mixture. Roll the dough up as tightly as possible. You should get about 3 - 5 rings. Cut dough into 1 ¾ inch slices. Place slices into 9 x 13 pans lined with parchment paper. You can only do 6 in each pan. Let rise for about a half hour.
• Icing: Blend softened butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Add the vanilla, whole milk. Blend. Gradually add the powdered sugar until icing is smooth and fluffy. Place in refrigerator until you are ready to spread it on the cinnamon rolls.
• Bake cinnamon rolls for about 10 minutes. Watch them as some ovens cook quicker than others. They will be golden brown when they are done. Let them cool about 10 minutes, then coat them generously with icing. If you are making them the day before you serve them, let them cool completely and then spread the icing on. Heat the cinnamon roll for about 15 - 20 seconds in the microwave.
