Truly amazing. Leaps and bounds better than any bakery cinnamon roll I've tried. I only made two minor changes--reduced the sugar by half in the dough and subbed in canola oil in the dough, but trust me, they still turned out just as sweet as a cinnamon roll is supposed to be! I prepped them the night before, and they kept well in the fridge over night under platic wrap. I hope more people try this recipe because they are so much better than bakery rolls, and they blow grocery canned ones away. It's is worth it to put the prep time in for these. Thanks for posting this awesome recipe!
