Use this recipe for decadent cream cheese icing on your favorite cinnamon roll and you won't be disappointed!"

7 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
If your cream cheese and butter are cold, it won't cream well. Microwave each separately for about 10 seconds and they will be soft enough to work with.
