Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls

Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
For the Rolls:
2-1/2 cup water (110 degrees)
2 pkgs of dry yeast
1 box yellow cake mix
1 tsp salt
5 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
1 stick very soft butter

For the Frosting:
3/4 cup Cream Cheese
2/3 cup butter
3-1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla

1. In a stand mixer, mix water, yeast, cake mix, salt, and flour; Until a dough forms about 4 mins, adding 1 tbsp. of flour after 2 mins if it still sticks to the sides.
2. Transfer to an oiled, air tight bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm, draft free place for an hour until dough has doubled in size.
3. Preheat oven to 350F
4. Roll out dough to 1/2in thick.  In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Spread  butter over the dough completely, and cover the dough with cinnamon and sugar.
5.Starting at end opposite from you, roll the dough towards you until all dough is rolled into one long piece.  Slice dough into 24 equal sized pieces.
6.  Place rolls in two greased 9×13 pans.   Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
7.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8.   Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
9.  In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Generously apply to cinnamon rolls

*  If you prefer your frosting to melt into your rolls, frost after rolls have cooled for 10-15 minutes.  If you prefer your frosting to stay on top of your rolls, wait until rolls have cooled until frosting.
