Easy Cinnamon Rolls

I love this recipe! I got this one from a local elementary recipe book. Just a bunch of families put together their favorites.. now this is one of our favorites too. The book also had a yummy cake recipe that I will post soon. This recipe though is so nice because it doesn't take very long. You only have to let them rise for 10 minutes!
 DOUGH                                                    FILLING
1/3 Cup Sugar                                       1/2 Cup Brown sugar
2 Tbs. Yeast                                          1/2 Cup Sugar
1 1/4 Cups warm water                          2 Tbs. Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Butter (softened)                         FROSTING
3 Eggs                                                  2 Cups Powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt                                          1/4 Cup Milk
5 Cups Flour                                        4 Tbs. Butter
                                                            1 tsp. Vanilla

In bowl combine first four ingredients. Cover and let set for 15 min. Add 3 eggs and 1/2 tsp. salt, stir together. Add 5 cups of flour. Knead for 5 min. Roll out and spread butter on dough. Combine brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on buttered dough. Roll up and use unflavored dental floss to cut ( or you can use a knife). Set for 10 min. Bake at 400' for 10 min. Combine remaining ingredients and drizzle on warm rolls.

For the frosting you can also make a cream cheese frosting. I have always liked that better myself, but the frosting in this recipe is fast and yummy too.
