Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix warm milk, melted butter, egg, food coloring, and vanilla; combine with dry ingredients.
Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough; knead until smooth.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out risen dough, spread filling evenly, roll tightly, and slice into 12 pieces.
Let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes before baking at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
Make cream cheese frosting and generously spread it over warm rolls.
