Delectable Cinnamon Rolls

I have always wanted to make cinnamon rolls but I could never find a recipe that I wanted to try. I saw these and thought that they would be an easy first try (because there's no yeast in them). They are the best cinnamon rolls in the whole world. Both Josh and I agree on this! So give them a try, they are definitely worth it!


Adapted from Our Best Bites "No Yeast Sweet Rolls"

For the dough:
3/4 cup cottage cheese (4% milk fat)
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 Tbs real butter, melted
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
9 oz. (2 cups) flour; more for rolling
1 Tbs. baking powder
1/2 tsp. table salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda


Filling
1/2 C (1 stick) real butter at room temp, divided
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1 T cinnamon

Glaze

1 C powdered sugar
2 T butter, melted
2 T milk or cream
1 t vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and pulse in short bursts just until the dough clumps together (don’t over-process). The dough will be very soft, probably softer than you're used to. Don't add anymore flour! Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times just until smooth. Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 12x15 inches.

Now put your filling on. After the rolls are filled and cut. Place them in a glass pie dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

When the rolls have a few minutes left in the oven. Whisk your glaze ingredients together. When the rolls are done cooking, let them cool for five minutes. Then spread the glaze over the top! They are the best when they are fresh out of the oven, but they still taste delicious the next day!

My husband's comment on these was priceless! Here's what he said:
