It was our third annual Christmas cinnamon rolls and they get better every year. There is nothing better than a cozy home decorated for the holidays and the smell of cinnamon rolls baking. I again followed the Paula Deen cinnamon roll recipe and the dough turned out nicely. I again rolled them using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I did try a lighter cream cheese frosting recipe this year though that turned out even better.
Recipe for Cream Cheese Frosting:
2 oz. cream cheese
7 T. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 t. vanilla extract
2 T. milk
1 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1/4 t. salt
Beat together the cream cheese and butter with a mixer until creamy. Mix in vanilla and milk and gradually stir in the powdered sugar and salt until smooth.
