Nothing better to start the week off right then a 3 mile run (yes, I'm up to 3 miles and loving it!) on a crisp cool morning ... followed by the smells of warmth of cinnamon rolls baking. Thank you to Kelly for recommending this recipe, "Clone of a Cinnabon" on her blog. I have to tell you, I'm not a huge fan of most homemade cinnamon rolls (my past attempts included), they always seemed dry and lacking. Well not these my friends, these are divine ... the perfect balance of a crusty outside with light and chewy inside and a delicious mix of gooey brown sugar and icing. Seriously, the three of us each enjoyed one this morning and I promptly put two aside for tomorrow and sent the rest away.*****
My notes:
Since I got rid of my bread maker long ago, I used my KitchenAid mixer and dough hook instead. I added all the wet ingredients first, followed by the dry (using regular yeast, not bread machine). Once the ingredients came together, I set the mixer to medium speed and let it kneed the dough for about 5 minutes.
There were several reviews about making the dough by hand too ... and while it would be much more work, I don't think you would regret the time it takes once you tasted these!
Lastly, I baked mine at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. I let them cool for about 5 minutes and then flipped them into another 9x13 dish so that all of the brown sugar/butter goodness was on top. Then I iced them liberally ... if you're eating this cinnamon roll, you should not be concerned with calories!!

Enjoy with a big glass of Iced Tea ;).Happy Monday, if your week didn't start off so good, maybe a batch of these is in order!

Yum yeah...my pop tart just wasn't as good...however, I did enjoy it with a big glass of iced tea. What have you done to me!? :)
Yum-may! Those look so good!
Love the new banner :)
Any chance you will make these for my birthday? I know my attempt would be a dismal failure compared to yours. The baking 'gene' was left out of my make-up I think - or just skipped to you!
Yummmmmy! So happy you posted that link, Andrea! And wow, I've missed out on many days of your blog! My links were all gone from my computer snafu but alas, I found you again! LOL!!

The new banner is adorable!
With all this talk...I'm headed to the store tonight so that the family can enjoy a wonderful morning of cinnamon rolls. It's going to be a happy Thursday at the Hoodenpyles.
Oh and I'm feeling like a winner ;o)
