These where GREAT!! Hubby loved them. I made extra butter, brown sugar and cinnamon mix and when I served the cinnamon rolls and put a spoonfull on top of each one and let in melt and used that as the toping and it was awesome.

These were excellent. I used the cream cheese frosting to top them as suggested below and they were WONDERFUL. Great that you don't have to use a bread maker either!

My kids helped make these for breakfast, and they were delicious! Ours took a little longer than 90 minutes, but that was because I didn't have any instant yeast. I used dry active instead, mixed it in 1/2 cup water, let it foam for about 10 minutes, and then added it to the rest of the ingredients. After letting the dough rise about an hour, we prepared the cinnamon rolls as directed and placed them in a 9x13 pan. The second rise took about 40 minutes. My kids were thrilled to see the rolls puffed up to fill the whole pan! We baked according to directions & frosted with cream cheese icing. We will be making these again and again. Thanks!

These were an absolute hit with everyone! They are pretty easy to make - I made the dough in the evening, cut, put in pan, and then left in refrigerator overnight. Baked them in the morning--everyone raved! Will definitely make again! (It was even my first time making cinnamon rolls from scratch!!) **Used cream cheese frosting from Clone of a Cinnabon recipe, spread on warm rolls. YUMMMMMMMMMMM!

They were great! Thanks for an authentic but fast and easy way to make cinnamon rolls. Loved them and loved that they don't require a breadmachine or overnight rising! Will definately make again. BTW, I topped them with the cinnabon clone frosting-yummy!

I thought the dough part of the rolls was quite good, but the filling sort of "crackle-ized" on top of the rolls, so they had a crunchy glaze. I was hoping for something gooey. Don't know if I did something wrong, but these weren't what I was looking for.

I could not believe the success I had in making these! I wasn't sure if I had to proof the yeast first, but I just added it in the mixture dry and they came out fine. Only problem was that the dough didnt double as quickly as it was supposed to, but I had time. I think I'll substitute coconut milk and add semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut flakes the next time I make these. Be careful with these when in the oven. I wanted to check them after 25 mins and didn't get to them until after 28 mins, and that was all it took to overcook 'em. THey were still great, just a tad browner.

Very good. I did not add nuts or raisins but will next time. I will also add a bit of flour to the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture to keep from melting to the bottom of the pan. I used the cream cheese frosting recommended by another poster which was a wonderful addition to the recipe. Hubby said "make these again!". And I will.

Our family is allergic to cows milk so I used the soft goat chevre which is similar to cream cheese. This worked great! I also added the nutmeg and oregano that was recommended by others which added to flavor. I added a little cream sherry (1 tsp) since the goat cheese is not as sweet as cow's milk cream cheese. Love the recipe. Thank you!

I think I may have cooked these a tad too long at 20mins, but slathered in vanilla glaze (found on this site)no one could tell they were just a bit too brown. This was my second time making cinnamon rolls. This recipe was far easier and the results came out far better.

Delic recipe. They are not quite cinnabun level delic, but who knows, they probably add crack to the ones in the mall. I used the frosting from this recipe: Cinnamon-Rolls-II. Will make again. Also, to get it to rise, I preheated my oven for a minute or two, turned it off, opened the door to let most of the heat out, and THEN put the covered cinnamon rolls in and closed the door. I made sure it wasn't too hot in the oven though, just warm (or else the yeast would be killed). The rolls finally did rise this way,

One word: mmmmmmm! This was our first time baking cinnamon rolls, and they turned out great. We added 1/4 walnuts in the filling then sprinkled another 1/4 on top. They did take a little while longer than expected to rise, but the results were definitely worth it.

Really quite good, though I did let them rise a bit longer than the time suggested here. Also, about topping: The filling is actually rich enough to make frosting unnecessary, so this recipe really is complete!

Without question, the very best cinnamon rolls I've EVER had. Totally easy to make, I made them with quick yeast the first time and the next day made them with regular yeast (I was out of the quick kind) and just let it rise, kneeded it again and then put it in the fridge overnight and baked in the morning. I used the cream cheese frosting suggested in the first review. So good!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for a great recipe!

Ok so I jsut started the whole baking from scratch thing thanks to my sister in law. I found this recipe the other day and i thought hey why not. I made it tonight with my husband and it was GREAT! I made an icing with confectioners sugar and milk and drizzled it on top of the rolls when they were done. I think it was a great recipe to start out with. Two thumbs up!

Nothing wrong with this recipe- just not as gooey or moist as I would have liked. Fit well in a 9x13, but I cooked it for 30 min. at 190. Next time I will place extra pads of butter on top to make more moist. These demand a glaze on top so I used the one from Overnight Cinnamon Rolls I. Also, next time I will roll them really thin and long so they get more rotations in them.

First time making Cinnamon Rolls. REALLY YUMMY recipe. I made the dough in the food processor and the dough turned out great. I would recommend rolling the dough out larger than 9x12. They were thicker than I would have liked but delicious nonetheless!
