- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs, then mix until combined.
- Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
- Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls into a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once baked, drizzle the icing over warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
Notes
- For an extra fluffy texture, ensure your yeast is fresh and active.
- Feel free to add nuts or raisins for additional flavor and texture.
