I have been looking for different baking recipes to use with my KitchenAid Mixer that I got from Costco. I have also gotten into stoneware and wanted to start breaking in my new pie dish that is pictured in the second photograph.
This recipe was easy and, as it states, is probably as close to Cinnabon as you could get. My husband would say, it is better than Cinnabon.

1. I would say it is easier to melt the butter and brush on rolled out dough and then sprinkle on the cinnamon/brown sugar mix rather than mix the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. I did that and then was trying to spread out this cakey mixture. No bueno. Though they were still incredibly, lick your fingers, edible.
2. Do not be fooled, the frosting is enough to sufficiently cover all the cinnamon rolls even if you would ask for extra frosting.
3. TIME! They are not ready to be baked in 20 minutes. There is an extra 1.5 hours that is not added to prep time. You are supposed to let the dough rise for ONE HOUR then, after you form them into actual cinnamon rolls, you are supposed to let them sit for another 30 MINUTES.

The recipe was enough to be able to give a bunch away to neighbors, my parents and even a few for ourselves. One person said they were the best cinnamon rolls they had ever had.
