Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • For Rolls
  • 1 cup warm egg nog 
  • 2 eggs room temperature slightly beaten
  •  cup butter melted
  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 packet of yeast 
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of ground nutmeg 
  •  cup butter softened
  • For Frosting
  • ½ cup of salted butter
  • 8 oz Cream cheese 
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 
  • 1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup of egg nog
  • cup of  confectioners/Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Dissolve yeast into warm eggnog. While yeast is dissolving combine white sugar, butter, salt, and eggs into a large bowl. Mix in two cups of flour, and then mix in yeast + egg nog mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. The dough should be elastic but not sticky. Sprinkle flour over a large surface and knead for 5-10 minutes. Place in a large well-greased bowl (I sprayed mine with Pam) and cover with two clean dish towels without touching the dough. Place in a dry area for an hour to double in size.  
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Punch down the dough and roll out into a large 15×9 rectangle on a floured surface. Spread evenly with softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Very gently roll dough together. Cut slices about 1 1/2 inches thick and arrange close together in a greased casserole dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden.

For icing:

  • In a large bowl fitted with a hand or standing mixer add in room temp butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2-3 minutes. Add in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time and 1 tablespoon of eggnog after every sugar addition. Add in cinnamon and nutmeg last to your taste. Smother onto warm cinnamon rolls!
