Smeared with cream cheese frosting, these pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls are soooo wonderful. The soft sweet pumpkin dough, rolled with butter, sugar, and not just cinnamon, but pumpkin spice, too, is absolutely sinful.

Instructions
Add dough ingredients to the breadmaker in the order listed.
Set the breadmaker to the dough setting and begin cycle.
When the dough is ready, flour your surface well and roll dough into a ½" thick rectangle. If dough is too sticky, work in some additional flour until you can roll it out easily.
Mix ingredients for filling and spread over dough using a spatula.
Roll the rectangle up into a roll.
Slice cinnamon rolls into 1.5" sections - this should make 12 rolls after discarding the two ends (which are typically a bit misshapen.)
Place cinnamon rolls into a well-buttered 9x13 baking dish.
Cover with a light towel; allow to rise in a draft free, warm location for about 1 hour.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until browned - approximately 20-25 minutes.
Beat together cream cheese, 4 tablespoons butter, and powdered sugar. Add in heavy cream until frosting is fluffy and combined. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.

Notes
We also love to add in some chopped pecans or walnuts into this. Once the rolls are ready to bake, we add the nuts so they become toasted on top!
Once the dough is rolled out, sprinkle some raisins, dried cranberries or even chocolate chips. Then roll!
