Cinnabon Rolls

Yes, these are like the Cinnabon rolls from their store.  They do take a while to make, but are very sweet and yummy.
Rolls:
1/2 cup warm water
2 packages dry yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
3.5-oz. package vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup margarine--melted
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
6 cups flour

Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk
To make frosting, mix all ingredients until smooth.

In a bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar.  Stir until dissolved.  Set aside.
In large bowl, take pudding mix and prepare according to package directions.  Add margarine, eggs, and salt.  Mix well.  Then add yeast mixtures.  Blend.
Gradually add flour; knead until smooth.  Place in a greased bowl.  Cover and let rise until doubled.  Punch down dough and let rise again. 
Then roll out on floured surgace to 34" x 21" size.  Take 1 cup soft butter and spread over surface.  In bowl, mix 2 cups brown sugar and 4 tsp. cinnamon.  Sprinkle over top.  Roll up very tightly.  With knife, put a notch ever 2 inches.  Cut with thread or knife.
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.  Take hand and lightly press down on each roll.  Cover and let rise until double again.  Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.  Remove when they start to turn golden.  DO NOT OVERBAKE.
