Ingredients

For The Dough

1 cup Cottage Cheese full fat, blended
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt

For The Filling

4 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
½ cup Brown Sugar
1 ½ tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

4 ounces Cream Cheese softened
¾ cup Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoon Milk
½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the blended cottage cheese and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10 by 14 inches.
Mix the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Spread the softened butter misture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting with one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the log into eight evenly sized rolls.
Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little room between them. Bake at 350°F for 22 to 26 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and lightly golden. Avoid overbaking them, since that can dry out the dough.
Whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cinnamon rolls while they are still slightly warm so it softens and settles into the spirals.
