Delicious! If you use real chocolate, don't add the honey - it seizes the chocolate.

I used Crisco butter flavored sticks and got flawless results.

Delicious! Mine look just like cinnamon rolls. They almost look better than the picture, and I'm really not much of a baker. I yielded 4 dozen cookies and used melted cream cheese frosting instead of the white chocolate. Shortcut, I guess. And unlike everyone else, I found the dough unmanageably dry, so I added a glug of milk. They're perfect and delicious! I'll be making these a lot.

These cookies were a pain to make and they didn't taste like cinnamon rolls at all. The general opinion of everyone eating them were that the cookies were good, but they just tasted like Snickerdoodles. If all I'm getting out of a recipe are Snickerdoodles, then I'll just drop the cookies and bake instead of spending so much time rolling into logs (which often broke) and spiraling into round shapes. Photo looks nice, but they don't look anything like photo (and yes, I'm an experienced baker).

I made these especially for my daughter who loves cinnamon rolls in general. We do like them but even prefer them better without the white chocolate.

Very nice cookie, I did not have problem making it. However the next time I make these delicious cookies I will probably use a cream cheese icing., My little grandson thought they were delicious!!

Just doesn't measure up to my snickerdoodle recipe.

Yum!!! This has now been added to my Christmas baking list.

Just the right cripness, with softness in the inside.

Admittedly I used margarine instead of butter but the dough was so sticky that there was no way I could have gotten them into ropes even after refrigerating. The dough does seem like it has a good taste but since I couldn't rope them I mixed the spices(with a little added ginger and nutmeg) into the dough. Tried to pipe them out into the shape but they lost it once they began to bake up. They still taste pretty good but aren't very pretty
