The Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever
There is something about buttery cinnamon and sugar encased in a warm dough, slathered with cream cheese that makes you say “AHHHH”. The smell of cinnamon evokes a warm homey feeling for me –and I don’t think I am alone here. Romans used to use cinnamon in their love potions, Egyptians in their embalming rituals, and I used it in the World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls.
I have made several different recipes for cinnamon rolls for the years, all were good, but when I made these I knew I found the recipe that I hope to become famous for –at least in my family. My great grandma Dorothy makes a mean cinnamon roll(I don’t have her recipe, yet), but I would totally take this recipe and do a Bobby Flay style throwdown against her.
I mixed the dough and let it rise in my bread machine, before I rolled it out and filled it. These cinnamon rolls are as big as your head and incredibly delicious. I looked through the cupboard and realized I was out of vanilla extract, so I added some vanilla instant pudding and skipped the additional sugar.
OH MY GOD I AM DROOLING. SEND SOME TO ARIZONA PLEASE!! 🙂
Oh my! I gained 5 pounds just looking at that picture. You should totally do the BF Throw Down with that recipe.
These look absolutely perfect!! Do you have the instructions for those without a bread machine?
Hi Jamie,
I’m making these for a family brunch on Saturday, but I have the same question as Memoria.
How can I let the dough rise with the bread machine? Can I just set it in a bowl and wait?
If so, how long should I wait for?
wow.
All I can say is these cinnamon rolls are incredible , my daughter and husband loved them , I will never buy cinnamon rolls again …
Whats the 3rd ingredients half and half?
Half & Half is a mixture of milk and cream that is sold in stores in the US.You could use full fat milk or cream to replace it.
