How to Make Easy Cinnamon Rolls

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Add the flour, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl. Stir until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. While the dough is rising, make the filling. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
7. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a 12-inch circle.
8. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Roll up the dough from the long side, then pinch the seam closed.
9. Cut the rolls into 1-inch pieces and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
10. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
11. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
12. Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.
13. To make the frosting, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth.
14. Drizzle the frosting over the cooled rolls and enjoy!
