In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it's lukewarm (about 110°F). Add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar.
Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
Add the eggs, 3 1/2 cups of flour, and salt to the bowl. Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until a soft dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but is still slightly sticky. Knead the dough in the mixer for about 6-8 minutes on medium speed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Set aside.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 16x12 inches.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before spreading the glaze over the top. Serve warm.
