Servings: persons

FOR THE ROLLS:
2 cups Warm Water (110-115 Degrees F)
4 teaspoons Dry Yeast (two Packets)
1/2 cups White Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 whole Eggs
1/3 cups Oil (anything But Olive Oil)
6 cups Flour (more If Dough Is Too Sticky)
1/4 cups Butter, Softend (more If Needed)
1/2 cups Cinnamon And Sugar (mixed Together)
1/2 cups Cinnamon Chips, Roughly Chopped
_____
FOR THE FROSTING:
8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 cups Butter, Softened
3 cups Powdered Sugar
3 teaspoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla

1
In a large bowl mix the warm water and yeast until dissolved. Allow it to sit for a minute or two. Then add sugar and salt, mix well.
2
Whisk eggs in a small bowl and then stir into yeast mixture. Stir in oil and three cups of flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in three more cups of flour.
3
Pour mixture onto a clean, floured counter and knead dough about ten times. If dough seems too sticky add an extra cup of flour, a half cup at a time. Knead until smooth.
4
Let dough rest in a greased bowl for about 15 minutes. It is okay if it rests longer; I had to chase my 2 year old at this point and it rested for about 1 hour - so longer is fine just make sure it has at least a good 15 minutes. I also like to make my cream cheese frosting now so it is ready.
5
Roll dough into a thin rectangle. Think crescent rolls from a can for a guide on how thin to roll it. It will have a lot of air bubbles; this is totally normal. Spread with softened butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture and top with rough chopped cinnamon chips.
6
This is where we break away from traditional cinnamon roll making; no big log. Use a pizza cutter, slice the rectangle of dough down the center to make two long strips and then cut 1 1/2 inch slices of the dough. Roll by hand to form mini cinnamon rolls. This is the fun part, it gives each cinnamon roll character and kids love helping.
7
Place mini cinnamon rolls in greased muffin tin. It helps them keep their shape. Bake at 375F for 15 minutes.
8
Allow to cool on wire rack for few minutes. Cover with cream cheese frosting while warm.
9
For cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla together until smooth.

Enjoy!
