a good tasting cinnamon roll the brown sugar gives it a distinct taste. I loved being able to make this the night before as cinnamon rolls are a lot of work to do first thing in the morning. Recipe is a little unclear, not sure what pan to cook in, not sure what cinnamon butter is so I used 3 tablespoons of butter mixed with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and I did not leave them out overnight I put them in the fridge as I was unsure. Easy recipe and wonderful smelling while baking. Definite 5 star with clearer directions. I also topped these with cream cheese frosting :)

We got snowed in for Christmas so I made these the night before. I added raisins and put brown sugar on top. They were excellent! My husband wanted sweeter so I made icing for the top. Next time I will add more brown sugar and cinnamon to the filling. Thanks for the recipe, it was my first attempt at cinnamon rolls from scratch :)

i used 3 cps whole wheat and 4 cps all purpose flour. I didnt need to add any flour to roll it out. I used 1/2 cp butter in the filling and spread that over each rolled out section before cutting it into 1 1/2 inch strips and rolling them up. Made 15 rolls for me in a 11x15" pan. i didn't preheat the oven, and after 30 minutes I still wasn't happy. I think they needed more room to cook properly. It took 60 mins. I used cream cheese icing 1.5 cps confectioners sugar, 1/4 cps cream cheese, .5tsp vanilla, pinch of salt, 30 secs in microwave stir it up spread it over hot rolls.
