Cinnamon Rolls

This is Geraldine Madariaga's recipe, so maybe some of you have it. They are seriously the best cinnamon rolls ever. Just made them and thought I would post it in case some of you don't have it.

Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups (maybe a little more) flour
Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large bowl. Add sugar, margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix well. Put in bowl; cover and let rise about 1 hour. Roll dough out on a greased surface, approximately 21 inches long by 16 inches wide. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (medium-hot oven).

Filling:
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, softened
Combine sugar and cinnamon. Spread softened margarine evenly over surface of dough, then sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture over surface. Roll up and pinch seam. Cut slices 1 3/4 inches thick. Let rise in greased pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Icing:
1/2 stick margarine, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt
Combine icing ingredients and beat well with electric mixer until very fluffy. Spread on rolls.

These really are the best---and they are pretty foolproof. I can't make dinner rolls for the life of me, and I was never able to make cinnamon rolls work either, but every time I've tried these they have turned out beautifully.
