This year my mom decided we should make my great-grandma's cinnamon rolls for our Christmas brunch. This recipe turned out great and it was fun thinking about how many times she had eaten them growing up. Wash these down with a big glass of milk!
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Combine roll mix and sugar in a medium bowl.
3. Add hot water, butter and egg and stir to combine.
4. Place dough on a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
5. Let dough rest for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine cinnamon filling ingredients.
7. Roll out dough into a 15x10 rectangle. Sprinkle with
cinnamon filling and roll up (jelly roll style).
8. Cut roll into 12 slices and place on a greased cookie
sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. When the rolls bake, combine the cream cheese icing
ingredients.
10. Spread icing over the hot rolls and transfer to a
platter. Enjoy!
