Ingredients

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together until well combined.
Step 3: Separate the biscuits and slice each into thin strips about 3/4 inch wide.
Step 4: Lay out the biscuit strips and brush them lightly with melted butter.
Step 5: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered strips.
Step 6: Carefully roll each cinnamon sugar-coated strip into a spiral, pinching the ends to seal.
Step 7: Place the rolled cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8: Bake according to the biscuit package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before drizzling or spreading with icing.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey rolls, add a bit of cream cheese to the icing or sprinkle some chopped nuts inside before rolling.
Try using brown sugar instead of white sugar for a richer flavor.
If you prefer a spicier roll, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat briefly in the microwave or oven before serving. Warm rolls taste best fresh but reheating with a damp paper towel helps retain moisture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)

Filling

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Icing

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit on a clean surface.
Shape the rolls: Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a small circle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Add the filling: Brush the melted butter evenly over each flattened biscuit. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle this evenly over the butter-coated dough.
Roll and slice: Carefully roll up each biscuit from one edge to the other to form a small log, sealing the edges. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 3 to 4 rolls depending on size.
Bake: Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet or in a baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Prepare the icing: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Serve: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Use room temperature butter to make spreading easier.
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mix.
If you prefer thicker icing, reduce the milk slightly or add more powdered sugar.
Serve warm for the most delicious soft texture.
Refrigerated biscuit dough brands differ; adjust baking time as needed to avoid overbaking.
