Reviews
This did not taste at all like a cinnamon roll unlike another review suggested. It was more like a normal soft cookie so worth a bake in that aspect.
Sure was surprised at how this turned out, or didn't. Have no idea what I did wrong. Didn't change anything and have made cinnamon rolls and pinwheel cookies for years. They just wouldn't roll up and hold together. When I used plastic wrap to help, I got them to roll up, but when I unwrapped them they fell apart. Most likely won't mess with cooking the rest of the dough. Perhaps, if I freeze the dough, it will stay together. Good idea, just not for me. For me, a waste of time and resources. If it works out better when I freeze the dough, I will repost a rating. I hate being negative, when it may have been me.
They tasted just like a cinnamon roll. They were super cute!
Question: Can these be made dairy-free?
These were delicious. I accidently forgot the 1/4 cup of butter, but they turned out fine. I also chilled the dough for 15 hours after rolling them and they were fine. The cookies splay out during baking if you don't roll them tight enough.
Delish !!!! Smell when baking is absolutely devine,whole house smells so good brings everyone to kitchen to see whats baking.Dough very easy to roll.
