Cinnamon Rolls

I decided to post my cinnamon roll recipe on here since several people have asked for it.

1/2 cup warm water
2 tbsp yeast
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs (beaten)
6 cups of flour
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp cinnamon

1. Dissolve yeast in water. Set aside.
2. Mix together milk, sugar, salt, and shortening in a sauce pan over medium heat until the shortening melts.
3. Stir in eggs and 3 cups of flour. Mix until smooth
4. Add yeast mixture and remaining flour. knead for 5 minutes on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic. The dough may be slightly sticky.
5. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top of dough. Cover with damp cloth. Let rise until double.
6. Punch down. Let rise again. 
7. Roll dough into large rectangular shape on floured surface, 24x10.
8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving 1/2 " edge along one of the long sides free from butter for sealing.
9. Mix together 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter.
10. Roll up dough starting at one long edge and ending with the uncoated long edge. Pinch the seam shut.
11. Using a piece of floss or sewing thread cut the individual  rolls. (Run the thread under the rolled dough about 1" from the end. Firmly crisscross the thread at the top of the roll until a slice drops off.Place rolls side bye side in lightly greased pan. Let rise until double. Put a slab of butter on each one.
12. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 Minutes. Cool.
13. I frost them with cream cheese frosting. If you would like the recipe just let me know!

I got a request for the frosting recipe  so here it is!
