- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, forming a log.
- Cut the log into even slices, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick.
- Bake:
- Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Frost the Cinnamon Rolls:
- Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
