I always crave cinnamon rolls but I never seem to have the right ingredients. So one night I took like 5 recipes for them and mixed and matched and came up with my very own cinnamon roll recipe. My husband will only eat like 1 sweet treat when I make them (if that) but he ate two the night I made these and then one with his breakfast the next morning. I must say that this one is a keeper. I make a cream cheese frosting for everything! Really everything, cookies, cupcakes, these cinnamon rolls and each one is a slight bit different but only in the measurements, they all have about the same ingredients. To get the frosting look I put it in a big zip lock back and cut a pretty good sized chunk off one corner and pipped the frosting on, you don't even need to wait for them to cool, Cinnamon roll frosting tastes better a little melted.
