I gotta tell you, I told my wife for a weeks to make me some cinnamon rolls when she came across this recipe. I think I ate 10 of them in two days! I gained 5 pounds and it was all thanks to these devilishly delicious cinnamon rolls. The seemed easy to make (I was watching in anticipation), and they were very, very easy to eat! One Million Stars!!!

    Wow, this is amazing. It all blends together just like Cinnabon, without being expensive. The dough is hard to work with until you roll it out with lots of flour, but it turned out great.

    Fantastic! A couple of things to note: the BROWN SUGAR & CINNAMON was noted in the ingredients section (although somewhat obvious as needed), I may have totally forgotten about the Brown Sugar if I used the items listed from the shopping list. The prep time was a little deceiving as it took me about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish to get it all done. The nice thing was that I was able to focus on the clean up and prep of other items while waiting for the dough to rise. Definitely make sure that you have at least a gallon of milk to have ready for you and others to wash down this wonderful item. Would recommend cutting the dough into 4 pieces before rolling it out. It should then come out to the 20 rolls and not take up the entire counter to cut. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!

    Great recipe. I was amazed these came out so perfectly because I have never had a lot of luck with yeast recipes. I cut them at 1" intervals instead of 2 and made smaller rolls. Plenty for the freezer! The dough was much stickier than I expected it to be but after 2 risings it rolled out beautifully. I only used 1/2 cup of butter in step 14 and it was still dripping out the sides...one cup seemed too much. Also, next time I will half the frosting recipe. My rolls looked very, very frosted and I still only used half the amount called for. Thanks for a winner!!
