Wow! These are absolutely fantastic! Only changes I made were to use butter instead of shortening, add a bit more flour to make a workable dough, and then cut dough into 18 pieces. Iced while warm. Was a bit concerned they'd be underdone at 7 minutes but they were perfectly tender. Easier than cinnamon rolls and a nice change. My husband suggested using the dough for kolaches, which I may have to try. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
