Recipe Instructions

Step 1
To make the dough: Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Work 3 tablespoons softened butter into flour mixture using your hands until butter is lentil-sized.
Step 2
Pour milk into flour-butter mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
To make the filling: Whisk ¼ cup white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cinnamon-sugar mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over butter-brushed dough.
Step 4
Roll dough around filling to form a log; cut log into 9 rolls about 1-inch wide; place rolls, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are puffed and lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 6
To make the frosting: Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until frosting is smooth.
