On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the softened butter over the dough, and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top.

Now, sit back and enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you savor the exquisite taste of your homemade cinnamon rolls!
