GLAZE:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/4 cups butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 Eggland's Best Eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon until blended. In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and orange peel. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, yeast and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. 2. Divide dough into four portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each into an 8x6-in. rectangle; sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons brown sugar mixture. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. 3. Preheat oven to 350°. Cut dough crosswise into 3/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. 4. In a small bowl, whisk glaze ingredients. Dip tops of cookies in glaze. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 6 dozen.
