   (Donuts will not be golden brown, but should be springy.)
6. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan, about 5 minutes.
7. For the Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze - While donuts are baking or cooling, make the glaze by combining powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon, with a small splash milk.
