Instructions
Make the cinnamon rolls:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-inch cake pan well with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in softened butter, then add in milk and stir just until the dough has formed.
For the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 3 tbsp. of the melted butter. Reserve the extra tbsp. of butter to spread onto the dough.
On a clean and lightly floured surface, knead dough for about one minute. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle to about 1/4" thick. Spread the remaining tablespoon of melted butter onto the dough. Evenly distribute the filling onto the dough, making sure to leave a little room at the edges uncovered.
Carefully roll the dough up. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Place each cinnamon roll into the cake pan, leaving a little extra room between each one (they will spread out while baking).
Bake for 18-22 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Make the frosting:
Meanwhile, using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, mix together the butter, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Slowly add in one tablespoon of milk at a time, until it has reached your desired consistency.
Evenly distribute the cream cheese frosting over the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
