Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Add instant yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Mix in softened butter and eggs.
Gradually add flour and salt to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the filling.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Spread softened butter over it and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll tightly and slice into about 12 rolls.
Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.
For frosting, beat together powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
