Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

For the Dough

  • 2½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup colored sprinkles (jimmies)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided

For the Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup colored sprinkles (jimmies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with 1 Tablespoon melted butter.
  2. Combine all the filling ingredients and stir until it resembles coarse sand. Set aside.
  3. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sprinkles. Create a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk and 2 Tablespoons melted butter in. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface. Use your finger tips to press the dough into a 10"x 14" rectangle.
  5. Spread the dough with 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle with the filling. Keep the sugar about 1/2" away from the edge all around.
  6. Roll up the dough from the short end. If the dough sticks to the counter, use a butter knife to gently loosen it.
  7. Cut off a small part of each end to even it out. Cut the log into 9 even pieces. Place the rolls in the pan.
  8. Drizzle the remaining 2 Tablespoons melted butter over the rolls. Bake for 18 minutes. Cool slightly.
  9. Beat the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until creamy. Spread over the warm rolls. Top with sprinkles.
  10. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Heat the rolls for 30 seconds in the microwave to warm them up.
