Gina's Heavenly Cinnamon Rolls

Submitted by Lil Mrs. G

"What better way to wake the family up than with the heavenly aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls? Two years ago I hurt my back and wasn't able to bake my wonderful breads, so my wonderful husband bought me a bread machine.(I believe it was because he was missing his favorite things in life, cant blame him) In which I thought was a evil machine that mocked real bread making! But to my surprise the dough setting is amazing!! If your bread machine has a delay setting you can set it up so the dough is ready when you wake up!! These are so addicting, they are large fluffy and the icing is just sinful. I have had family members stand with fork and plate ready at the oven!! I can only hope all of you will love them as much as my family. *The only thing I have found is that, even though butter makes everything better, the margarine is best in the dough. And yes you can make the dough the old fashioned way. Th thetanium in my back won't allow me to play with dough anymore. Feel free to make this recipie your own. I have added toasted walnuts, raisins, and orange flavoring in the icing. This is just the basic recipe, but don't think that they aren't amazing just the way they are. I really hope you love them as much as my family does. If so, please leave comments. Or, if you have a question, feel free to ask. I can add that the sinful aroma lingers around for days. (Oh, they reheat nicely the next day, not that mine last that long). My friends have said they are better than Cinabon and I had to post the recipe to find out! Fingers crossed that you love them. Enjoy."
