Whole Wheat Almond Vanilla Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:

1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup low calorie butter (I use spreadable in a container)
1/1/2 teaspoon salt
2 packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 cups egg beaters or 3 eggs
5/1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Filling:

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup low calorie spreadable butter (melted)
1/1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon almond extract

Cream cheese glaze:

1 package softened low fat cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup evaporated milk

Dough:

In a small saucepan, combine milk, salt, sugar, and butter. Place on low heat and allow sugar to dissolve aqnd butter to melt. Dissolve yeast in warm water and place in mixer. Add honey, and saucepan mixture, eggs, and flour. Mix on speed 2 of a kitchen aide mixer until dough clings to kneading hook. Spray a large bowl with non stick spray and place dough in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with non stick spray. Allow to sit in a warm room for an hour or until dough is doubled in bulk. Punch dough down and place on a floured surface. Roll dough out to a rectangle about 10 inches by 6 inches by 1/2-1 inch. Rub melted butter all over the rectangle dough. Pour sugar mixture on top and spread evenly. Tightly roll from the long side to form a large, long roll. cut into 2 inch cinnamon rolls and place each roll in a glass baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Lightly smash each roll down with your hand. Cover the baking dish and allow to sit for another hour to allow the rolls to puff up again. Place in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until rolls are slightly browning. Cover the baking dish with foil and allow to sit another 20 minutes. This will allow rolls to cool and moisten while you prepare the glaze.

Sugar Filling:

Mix all ingredients except butter in a bowl. Save the butter for rub on the roll (see above)

Glaze:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and once it is a thick and creamy consistency, it is ready to be poured on top of baked rolls.
