1. Gather all the necessary ingredients, including all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, butter, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cream cheese, and additional butter.
2. Begin by preparing the dough. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk with the yeast in a small bowl and letting it sit until foamy.
3. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling by combining softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
5. After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. Spread the prepared cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
6. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from one of the long edges. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into even slices to create your cinnamon rolls.
7. Place the cinnamon roll slices in a greased baking pan, ensuring they are slightly spaced out. Cover and let them rise again until they double in size.
8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, ensuring the outside is crispy and the inside remains soft.
9. While the rolls are cooling slightly, make the donut glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and a small amount of vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Prepare the white frosting drizzle by mixing powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
11. Drizzle the donut glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls, followed by the white frosting drizzle for the finishing touch.
12. Serve the cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth experience with a fresh beverage of your choice like coffee, chai tea, or a fruit smoothie.
