How to Make Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup milk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup melted butter.
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12x18 inch rectangle.
  8. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  9. Tightly roll the dough up from the long side into a log.
  10. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  11. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pan.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite icing (optional).
