  4. 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.
  5. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
