My son woke up this morning asking for cinnamon rolls, I had puff pastry and found this great recipe. We loved them. However, like GoodnPlentiful, my didn't come out completely cooked. Though they look perfect. I followed instructions exactly, but thawed 10 minutes more, according to the box of pastry, so 40 min. rather than 30 in recipe. Next time, I'll cook at a lower temp for a little longer. Loved it, thanks!

I bet this GoodnPlentiful person didn't thaw her frozen puff pastry.

I loved the ease of this recipe but these never cooked all the way through even after baking for over 25 minutes at 375F. They appeared to be done (golden brown) but were nearly raw in the middle. BUT....I will say that they were still quite delicious. The not-too-sweet filling made these gooey and lovely though I can't imagine they are supposed to be *that* doughy. Would definitely make again but adjust baking time to 30 min or more.

these cinnamon rolls tasted so good, and were so easy to prepare. the only change i made was making some frosting out of sugar, vanilla and milk which i drizzled on top. Everyone loved them, and we had none left over
