Starting this Fall off with one of my favorite sweet treat! You can make this just plain or you can add whatever you like. I added walnuts because I personally love nutty sweets!

Dough Ingredients:

• 1 packet of instant dry yeast
• 1/4 cup of warm water
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• splash of vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• 2-3 cups of flour

Filling Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• melted butter to spread on dough
• (optional) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Glaze Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• splash of milk as needed for desired consistency

Directions:

In a mixer bowl add warm water and packet of yeast and pinch of sugar, let sit for 5 minutes until yeast is foamy and activated. Then add melted butter, egg, whipping cream, sugar, salt and splash of vanilla. Mix together then gradually add flour until it becomes into a slightly sticky dough. Kneed the dough for 6-7 minutes then oil it with a little bit of vegetable oil and let it sit in the bowl for 1-2 hour or until doubled in size.

While the dough rises you can make the filling. Just mix together brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside until needed.

After the dough rises, take it out of the bowl and spread it out on a clean table. Get a rolling pin and roll it out about 18in by 12in, brush melted butter all over, then sprinkle the sugar filling evenly. At this point if you want you can sprinkle whatever else you may like , I used walnuts.

Then you’re  going to start rolling it tightly all the way and pinch the ends so that it doesn’t open. Afterwards just cut the ends then cut in half then cut those halves in have and so on until you get 8 rolls. Place them on a baking sheet and put it in a warm place to rise once again. About 30 min – 1 hour.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl mix cream cheese and powdered sugar and add milk gradually until it reaches you’re preferred consistency.

Once the cinnamon rolls rised beautifully, place it in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes!

and…… ENJOY these fluffy, beautiful, delicious, indulging TREAT!!!
