Cranberry-White Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + chilling Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 16 Servings

45 30 75

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 package (10 to 12 ounces) white baking chips
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
GLAZE:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 to 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, sugar, salt and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 24-in. x 12-in. rectangle. For filling, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon; spread over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with chips, cranberries and pecans. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
Cut into 16 slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough cream to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 16 servings.

I loved the idea of making the dough and putting it in the refrigerator overnight. It was so nice to have warm rolls for breakfast and they tasted so good!!! It made 2 pans for me , 16 rolls total, so it was nice having one for later or to give a pan away to friends or family. Will definitely make this again!!

OMG my family was crazy for these rolls. I have a son in law who loves cinnamon rolls period. The calorie count is really high, but once a year for the holidays will not hurt. Four stars in my book.

These cinnamon rolls were the most delicious ones I've made in a long time. My entire family enjoyed them.

I found they made two pans of 13 in x 9 in rolls, for a total of 32 rolls instead of 16. I used raisins instead of cranberries and they were excellent..
