Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by melting 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan. Heat 1 cup of milk gently to about 100-110°F; whisk together with yeast and sugar.
  2. Once frothy, add egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Incorporate flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
  3. Make the filling by mixing 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl.
  4. Roll out the dough, spread the filling, and roll tightly. Slice into 12 pieces.
  5. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, let rise for 10-15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Cool for 10 minutes; prepare icing by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until creamy. Drizzle over rolls.
