Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, egg, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together.
Gradually stir in flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead for about 3 minutes until smooth.
Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour.
For the filling, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, then roll it tightly into a log and cut into equal rolls.
Place rolls in a greased baking pan and let them rise again for another 30 minutes before baking at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
To make the frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar together until creamy. Frost warm rolls before serving.
