Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit until foamy (5-10 minutes).
Mix in melted butter, then gradually add flour until combined. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl covered with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out dough into a rectangle after rising, spread softened butter on top, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Roll tightly into a log shape, slice into equal pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise again until puffy (30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth while rolls cool slightly after baking. Drizzle generously over warm rolls.
