Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls

February 14, 2018 by Kristin 5 Comments

Who can resist a cinnamon roll? I know I sure can’t! These Cinnamon rolls are soft, with a doughy texture and out of this world cream cheese frosting!

Do you ever go to the mall and smell the amazing Cinnabon store from about a mile away?! Well, that is one place that is hard to pass up….or at least for me!

The thing that makes their Cinnabon over the top amazing is the cream cheese frosting, right?! Well, look no further because this recipe may just top theirs!

No more having to shell out $5+ for one cinnamon roll, why not make an entire pan for under $10?

Last weekend, my hubby, who claims cinnamon rolls are “his thing” and won’t let me make them myself, whipped these up with the help of my kids! I got to sit back, drink some tea by the fire, and watch him go to work on these! I’d say I lucked out huh? He even cleaned the kitchen up afterwards, leaving zero work for me!

We ended up refrigerating these overnight and popping them into the oven Saturday morning for breakfast! Not only did we all love them, but then we brought some over to my parents and they too said these were a hit! My hubby took the rest of the pan to work on Monday and his coworkers had them gone in no time!

Next time you pass by a Cinnabon or see the Pilsbury rolls at the grocery store, pass them up and make this recipe instead! The cream cheese frosting alone makes these a definite winner!

Enjoy!
