Jamie's Cinnamon Rolls--aka The World's Best!

I can't believe Jamie just GAVE me this recipe! They are THE BEST cinnamon rolls I've EVER had. I copied it down word for word from her directions. She told me that the warm water at the beginning has to be JUST RIGHT so I hope it's not too difficult for anyone. Enjoy!

1 cup warm water
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp sugar
4 Tbsp yeast

Mix together and let stand 5 minutes

Add:
3/4 C sugar
1 Tbsp salt
4 Heaping cups bread flour
1 cup melted butter
4 eggs

Mix together

Add:
2 more heaping cups bread flour-- it will be sticky. Let mixer run for 10 minutes. Roll out immediately.
Soften 1 cube better and spread over dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top (5 Tbsp sugar & 5 tsp cinnamon). Roll and cut into rolls. Put them into baking pans and let them rise until doubled.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes-glass; 10-12-dark.


Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1 cube butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 lb box powdered sugar

Mix altogether and spread on cinnamon rolls. Did I mention that this is THE BEST recipe?

Sugar Cookies




1 1/2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt



Mix everything together. Chill for at least one hour. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 400 for 6-8 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Don't let the edges get very golden, or they will be crunchy. Yum.
