Heart-Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees F).

Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 2 equal pieces; roll each to 12-x10-inch rectangle. Brush with butter; sprinkle evenly with sugar, cinnamon, and dates. Roll up tightly from long ends as for jelly roll; pinch seams to seal. Mark each roll into 16 equal pieces.

Starting with first mark, slice every other mark 3/4 of the way through dough. Slice remaining marks all the way through dough to make 8 rolls from each piece of dough. Spread apart the two halves of each roll like a fan. Gently flatten with hand; shape to resemble hearts. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; cool on wire rack. Drizzle with Powdered Sugar Glaze.

For Powdered Sugar Glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
