Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup whole milk (warmed)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 large egg
For filling: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
For frosting: 1 cup cream cheese (softened), 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For decoration: Black chocolate sprinkles or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Combine both mixtures until dough forms.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
Prepare filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it before sprinkling the filling evenly.
Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log shape and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish and let rise again for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
While baking, prepare frosting by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Cool rolls slightly before frosting generously and decorating with chocolate sprinkles or chips.
