Cinnamon Roll ala Cinnabon

Have you ever had cinnamon roll in the morning with a cup or tea or coffee?  It's completely heaven!  There are various bakeshop or cafe where you can buy this lovely sweet pastry.  My favourite is definitely Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls although the price is a bit dear but it's worth it.  In the Philippines, The French Bakers is also a good place to buy cinnamon. 

According to what I have read, this delightful pastry originated in Sweden. It is known as kanelbulle which means "cinnamon bun". It's interesting to know that they even have a day of celebration every October 4 in honor of cinnamon bun. They call it "kanelbullens dag."
I could not remember where I got the recipe (below) on the internet but I got this website www.grouprecipes.com which I think has similar ingredients and procedure.

2 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1/3 c margarine, softened

1/4 c cream cheese (kraft easy cheese)

2. Knead the though into a large balle, using your hands. 
3. Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about an hour or until the dough has doubled its size.
