 To make the dough we mixed the warm milk, yeast in sugar in a mug and let it sit for a while.  We then added this to the eggs, margarine, and salt.  Then added the flour in after everything was mixed.  We needed it like you do with bread to make a ball.  We let the ball rise in a bowl for around 2 hours.  

 Roll it out into a rectangle shape that will be easy to roll up. 

 Added the melted butter over all of the flattened dough.  Then spread out the brown sugar and cinnamon mix evenly.

 Slowly and tightly roll the flattened dough.

 Once it is rolled then cut the pieces evenly to make your cinnamon rolls.  We left off the ends so that they would all be flat on both sides.

 Put them in your pan and let them sit 30-45 minutes and rise again.  We let ours rise closer to 45 minutes to let them get a little bigger.

 Once they have risen they are ready to bake!  You will bake them for 12-15 minutes or until brown.  While these are baking you can mix the cream cheese icing.  Combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt until it has the consistency of icing.

 Once they are baked add the icing to the top.  We added it while it was still hot so that it would melt over the cinnamon rolls.

 They are now ready to serve!  You will truly think that you have gone to heaven after eating one of these!  They taste so much like a cinnabon and you will want to eat the whole pan!
