Cooking Tips

• Make sure to roll the dough tightly to prevent the cinnamon filling from leaking out.
• If desired, you can add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon sugar mixture for extra flavor.
• For a shortcut, you can use pre-made cream cheese frosting instead of making your own glaze.

Storage and Serving

• These cinnamon rolls are best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the cinnamon rolls in a microwave for a few seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
