Ingredients:
2 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 ¼ cups)
4 oz softened cream cheese
3 tsp. vanilla extract, divided
1 tsp. dry active yeast
1 cup granulated sugar
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp Orange Zest (secret ingredient!!)
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ Tb. cinnamon
3 Tb. whole milk
1 cup powdered sugar

• Mix 2 tsp. vanilla extract with 1 tsp. of dry active yeast
• Cream the butter, cream cheese, vanilla with yeast, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy—2-3 minutes
• Turn the mixer on low. Add the salt, orange zest, then slowly add the flour. Scrape the bowl and mix until well combined
• Press the dough into a flat disk. Wrap and refrigerate the dough for (at least) 30 minutes
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl
• Flour a piece of wax paper and roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately ¼ inch thick (you can work in batches of dough to make it easier)
  
• Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the dough. Starting on the cinnamon covered side, carefully roll the dough tightly toward the other edge.
• Press the seam firmly, then cut the roll into 1/3-1/2 inch slices and lay on lined cookie sheets
• Repeat with the remaining dough and cinnamon sugar
• Bake for 8-10 minutes
• Cool completely. Then whisk the powdered sugar, milk and remaining vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Dip the face of each cookie into the glaze and set on a rack to dry
