  5. In the morning, mix in baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  6. Using a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to create your filling.
  7. Sprinkle your counter with some flour and roll our your dough into a rectangular shape to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Spread your Cinnamon/Brown Sugar filling on the dough
  9. Roll up the dough into a log shape pinching the ends inward
  10. Then slice up the roll into 12 even pieces (I used a dough cutter, but some people like to use thread or unscented floss)*see notes for additional way to cut up
  11. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes (until golden brown)
  12. When the rolls are in the oven you can start making your cream cheese topping
  13. In a medium saucepan, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, honey and vanilla extract
  14. Stir until combined
  15. Pout over Cinnamon Rolls and enjoy!

Notes

*Additional way to cut up cinnamon rolls if you find the rolling up and cutting too messy. After spreading the filling on your rectangular cinnamon roll dough, you could use a pizza cutter to cut your dough into 12 equal strips. Then roll each cinnamon roll up individually.
