Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter softened
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
- 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix 2 teaspoons vanilla extract with 1 teaspoon of dry active yeast.
- Cream the butter, cream cheese, vanilla with yeast, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy—2-3 minutes.
- Turn the mixer on low. Add the salt, then slowly add the flour. Scrape the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Press the dough into a flat disk. Wrap and refrigerate the dough for (at least) 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Cut the dough in half and leave one half in the fridge while working with the first half.
- Flour a piece of wax paper and roll the dough into a 7x13-inch rectangle that is approximately 1/4-inch thick. Then cut the dough into two sections to make the rolling easier.
- Sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar over the dough leaving 1 1/2 inches bare along the long edge. Starting on the cinnamon-covered side, carefully roll the dough tightly toward the bare edge. Press the seam firmly.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and cinnamon sugar. Place the rolls back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to harden the dough. *At this point, you can wrap the rolls and refrigerate for 2-3 weeks if needed.
- Cut the roll into 1/3- to 1/2-inch slices and lay on parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes. Cool completely. Then whisk the powdered sugar, milk and remaining vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Dip the face of each cookie into the glaze and set on a rack to dry.
