This is the time of year where the days start to cool down and we tend to bake more. I love these cinnamon rolls because they’re easy to make and they freeze well.
The kids can take one out of the freezer in the morning and it’s thawed by the time lunch rolls around at school. Convenient and delicious snacks are a must have for the school season.
Once you make these once you’ll be making them all the time, its easier then it looks and they’re great for bake sales, parties, or to eat at home.
This classic cinnamon rolls recipe is always a hit. They’re especially nice for holiday mornings and weekends. Take a pan of these along to the office or to a morning meeting and you’ll be the designated hero.
These cinnamon rolls are AWESOME!!!!! I will admit the dough is very soft and sticky but the result is well worth it. They are so light and fluffy that they literally melt in your mouth. I will make these again and again and again.
