I had really been wanting cinnamon rolls. So a friend gave me this recipe she found on Pinterest :) I was a little nervous...I had never made cinnamon rolls before, but I didn't care...I REALLY wanted some!

Ingredients:

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup margarine (I used butter)
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
Filling
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, softened

Instructions:

For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour to the bowl of a mixer and mix well.
Pour the milk/yeast mixture in the bowl and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated.
Place dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approx 16 inches long by 12 inches wide.
It should be approx 1/4 thick.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
To make filling, combine the butter, brown sugar, margarine and cinnamon in a bowl.
Spread the mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
Cut the dough into 1 3/4 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan.
Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!
While the rolls are baking make the icing but mixing all ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.



Well I loved them!! I doubled the recipe and it made 21. My husband helped take pictures....I only posted one of the ones he took, and it is his face. Haha. Everyone seemed to like them. My mother in law said they had too much cinnamon, but no one else thought so :) I can't wait to make them again!!
