Yummy Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
Thanks to my friend Amy – she told me how to make these great treats. I added the frosting and nuts, as it’s one of those recipes you can play with. Easy to make, and so yummy to eat – these cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting are a new family favorite! They beat the kind that come out of a tube by a long shot!
Preparing the the dough into a log to be cut into rolls.
Letting them rise before baking.
Fresh out of the oven – makes the whole house smell delish!
Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
1 Pound of Dough (can use fresh pizza dough)
1/2 stick melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 pecans (toasted and chopped)
Method: Grease a 9″ pie plate. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Lightly flour your working surface and roll out dough to 12″ x 20″ rectangle. Brush on melted butter. Sprinkle on sugar & cinnamon and top with raisins & nuts. Roll dough into a log as pictured above. Using a serrated knife, gently cut into 1″ rolls. Place rolls cut side up into prepared pie dish. Be sure to pinch seams after you place them in the pan. Let them rise about an hour in a warm place until they have doubled in size.
Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until puffed and lighted browned. Check in between rolls to make sure they are done before removing from oven.
While they are baking prepare frosting:
1/2 stick butter, room temp
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cream butter and cheese together in a medium bowl and then mix in vanilla and powdered sugar – spread onto warm rolls.
They don’t store well – so be sure to eat them up! If you do have leftovers, heat them in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften them up.
