Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Rolls:
2 & 1/4 tsp. yeast
1 cup warm milk (105 to 110 degrees)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 margarine, melted
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 & 1/2 Tbs. cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, softened

Icing:
8 tablespoons margarine (softened)
1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup (2 oz) cream cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. salt

1. for the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.

2. Mix together the sugar, margarine, salt, and eggs. Add flour, and mix well.

3. Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Put in a bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

4. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough flat until it is approx. 21 inches long and 16 inches wide. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.

5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

6. For the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the softened margarine evenly over the surface of the of the dough, and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the surface.

7. Working carefully from the top (a 21-inch side), roll the dough down to the bottom edge.

8. Cut the rolled dough into 1 & 3/4 -inch slices and place 6 at a time, evenly spaced in a lightly greased baking pan. Let rise again until double (approx 30 min). Bake 10 - 15 minutes (light brown on top). Coat with icing while hot.
