Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I made these, only I put brown sugar on dough, rolled it up and used another package of rolls and put mini chocolate chips and put the first rolled up dough on the dough and then rolled together. Frosted with regular cake frosting.

Several said why  not use the Grands Cinnamon rolls?   That is a thicker, completely different texture/dough.  Would not be as rich and good as this dough.   I think I will take the suggestion to use the sheets of crescents that have no seams,  dust board with some flour and try again.  they are sure worth experimenting.   Rather costly, but worth it once in a while.

They were wonder, quick and I would make them again, but there has to be an easier way to seal that darn dough! It stuck to the board, came apart and they were ugly when they finished baking. I'm wondering about dusting surface AND hands with some flour? Worth doing again though and hubby really liked them.

These cinnamon rolls are quick and easy, and oh, so good. I have been making them (but not quite this light version) every Sunday morning for my family for many years. If for some reason they don't wake up to these rolls, I'll hear about it!

I agree with the seam issues - but Pillsbury is now making the Crescents in SHEETS now. No more seams!!
