INGREDIENTS:
***DOUGH***
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup warm milk
1/3 cup melted margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
***FILLING***
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons makara cinnamon, (cinnabon brand)
1/3 cup softened butter
***CREAM CHEESE ICING***
4 tablespoons softened butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
Dough: Add ingredients in order listed to bread machine baking pan. Insert pan into bread machine and start "dough" cycle on machine. When dough is done, turn out onto floured rolling board and allow dough to rest for ten minutes. Roll dough out into a 16" wide and 21" long rectangle, with a dough thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Filling: Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until well mixed. Spread softened butter over the surface of the dough and sprinkle sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough surface.
Roll dough jelly-roll fashion along the 16" wide side of the rectangle. Cut dough roll into 12 slices. Place 12 rolls into a 9" by 13" baking pan and bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 15 minutes or until light brown on top. Remove baking pan and allow to cool.
Cream Cheese Icing: Combine in a mixing bowl until well blended. Frost cinnamon rolls with icing while rolls are still in the baking pan.
COOK'S NOTES:
These are most like the original when using Cinnabon's own brand of Makara Cinnamon - available at any Cinnabon Stand.

I've tried 6 or more bread machine cinnamon roll recipes in the last few months and these are by far the BEST! Light, fluffy, the perfect amount of filling...absolutely fabulous. I did put the rolls in the pan and then cover with a towel and let rise for 1/2 hr before baking.

The rolls rise in the breadmaker. After you take it out of the maker and put on your counter... they rest again for 10 min. These are AMAZING!!! I use Sam's club cinnamon. I have made them many times and they are ALWAYS a hit!

Spot on! Made 16 and gave to neighbors. Everyone agrees, congrats on successful recipe! Love this site. Told my friends.

These were wonderful. I did cut back in the brown sugar by about 25%, which simply prevents them from being gooey on the bottom, but some may prefer that so its a personal preferance. Watkins has a brand of the cinnamon that is the Makara after researching it. You will need to increase the bake time by about 2 minutes from the suggestion.

I have never been any good at making bread/yeast recipes. I finally got a bread machine and decided to try this recipe. I can't believe how nice the rolls turned out. The bread machine did all the work. And rolling it out was very easy. My kids and I both thought the rolls were delicious. I did add a teaspoon or two of milk to the icing to thin it out a little. Other than that, I followed recipe exactly. Very good!

These are the friggin BOMB!!!!!!!!! This was first time I EVER made cinnamon rolls from scratch, and let's just say that they are the softest cinnamon rolls I've ever had. They melt in your mouth!!!!!!

The bread machine made a dough that was very easy to work with. I made 16 of them and they still were very large. These are just like the original.
Guest: TammyP 2006-11-08
These were soooo easy and came out awesome. These were the softest, best tasting buns I've ever had and now I can make them all the time!!
Guest: the Cooking Factory 2006-04-19
Easy and amazing! I have made many recipes and this comes closest to the real thing. So very easy to make.
Guest: CinnaBob 2006-03-09
This recipe is the most like real Cinnabons of the recipes listed here. To make them the size of the "real thing", roll the dough from the 16" end -- you'll make a shorter, thicker log with more revolutions -- and cut it in to eight 2" slices. Increase bake time to 17-19 minutes.

very good breakfast item. Makes a little more than stated but no complaints since it was good! Following the recipe makes dough that is just right for the rolling pin.

question about Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. In the reviews no one mentioned allowing the rolls prior to baking to rise. Do they need to rise?
