Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the on to a low speed.
- Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or 9x13 pan. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12inch by 18inch rectangle.
- Brush the dough with 1/2 cup melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
- Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
- Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.

JO MAMA'S SOFT AND FLUFFY CINNAMON ROLLS
I volunteered to make cinnamon rolls for a children's breakfast at our church. A bit nervous about the prospects, I tried out three more cinnamon roll recipes to be sure I ended up with perfect rolls. This recipe is adapted from a recipe in "A Real American Breakfast" by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. I tried a hint I got from a fellow cinnamon roll baker and it worked out great. She suggested NOT preheating the oven. Putting the dough in a hot oven stops the growth of the yeast quickly. She puts her rolls in a cold oven and as the oven heats up, the rolls have a chance to rise a bit more as they begin cook. I was apprehensive at first, but it worked out beautifully in my oven.

Steps:
- Start by sprinkling yeast over the 1/2 cup lukewarm water.
- In heavy-duty mixer with dough hook on medium speed, cream together the 1 cup butter and 2/3 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the yeast mixture, milk, salt, 1/12 teaspoons vanilla, eggs, and 5 1/2 cups of the flour.
- Beat for a couple of minutes, adding additional flour 1/4 cup at a time.
- When dough is thick enough to start pulling together in a ball, reduce speed appropriate for kneading.
- Add no more flour than necessary for it not to be sticky.
- Knead for about 15 minutes.
- (I think this extended kneading help makes dough light and soft).
- Transfer to an oiled bowl and turn to coat with oil.
- Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot, until dough doubles (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
- While dough is rising, prepare filling: Stir together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons cinnamon in small bowl.
- Line two 15 x 10-inch cookie sheets with parchment and brush with melted butter.
- Roll dough until it is 12 x 18-inch rectangle.
- Brush with remaining butter (but leave about 1/2 inch at long side[on other side from you] with no butter so it will stick when rolled up).
- Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon filling mixture.
- Roll up dough from longer side[close to you], snug but not too tight.
- Cut dough with sharp knife (or dental floss--if you know that trick--crossing it around roll and pulling quickly) in slices approxamitely 1" thick.
- Arrange in pan and cover loosely with foil (coated with non-stick spray so it won't stick). (DON'T BE TEMPTED TO CROWD THEM IN THE PAN -- they will end up doughy--not cooked all the way through. They rise and spread.).
- (I also brush a bit of butter between sides of rolls so that when they rise they won't stick completely to each other--helps separate them when you serve them).
- To prepare glaze, mix ingredients with 2 tablespoons warm water.
- If it is too thick, add additionly warm water until it is thin enough to drop easily from a spoon.
- WANT TO EAT THEM IN ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF?.
- Let dough rise until doubled again, about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffy and golden brown.
- Let cool 5 minutes or so and then drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve.
- FOR OVERNIGHT RISING, after rolls are shaped and arranged on pan, cover and place in the refrigerator to rise overnight (8 to 10 hours).
- Take them out to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before baking.
- There is plenty of cinnamon sugar--I don't use all of it. Use according to your own tastes.
