Instructions

Whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, egg, food coloring, and vanilla; combine with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled.
Prepare the filling by combining softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly; roll tightly and slice into pieces.
Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise again before baking until golden.
While baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing softened cream cheese with butter and powdered sugar; add milk to reach desired consistency.
