Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls {Copycat} {SRC}


This month for the Secret Recipe club I got Janie of Fantastical Sharing of Recipes.  She is the organizer between the scenes for Group D.  


I almost picked her Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Copycat Recipe. After all it is the season for pumpkin and I do love me a good Pumpkin Spice Latter but then I eyed her copycat recipe for Cinnabun Cinnamon Rolls.


I love Cinnabun Cinnamon Rolls. See I used to go to Maine most summers to see family when I still lived in Iowa. Most flights for us went through O'Hara in Chicago. Not only was I excited to go to Maine but most times I was able to convince my mom(or maybe she didn't need too much convincing) to get a Cinnamon Roll from Cinnabun at the airport. This was sum twenty years ago (Am I really that old?) when they weren't all over the malls like they are today. Cinnabun was so super special to me.  With Janie's recipe I could make them at home, where I can have five at once without paying whatever ridiculous cost they charge. It is a dream come true.

Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls (Copycat)

by Emily Morris
Prep Time: 30 minutes, plus 2 hour rise t
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients (serves 12)
For the Rolls:
  • 1 pkg. dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk, warm
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups flour
For the Filling:
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
For the Icing:
  • 8 tbsp. margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
For the dough:
Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Add sugar, margarine, salt, eggs and flour.
Mix well until a dough is formed.
Knead gently into a large ball on a lightly floured surface.
Put dough in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for one hour or until it has doubled.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 21 by 16 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
For the Filling:
Spread the melted butter onto the dough. Also...this is about the time you want to get that oven preheated to 400 degrees.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
From the long end, roll the dough up tightly. Pinch the seams. Cut into 1 3/4 inch slices.
Place in a lightly greased baking pan. Let rise for an hour, uncovered. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
To make icing:
Combine ingredients and beat with a mixer until fluffy.
When the rolls are done, spread the icing on top of the rolls.

  15. Cinnabon rocks the mall because of the aroma.... I can just imagine how good your house smelled while these baked. It's dangerous to have that entire tray at your disposal... I would eat way too many. :)

  16. I just back from visiting friends on the east coast. As soon as I got through security, there was the amazing aroma of Cinnabon rolls baking away. I resisted, but only because we were hurrying to catch the plane. They are just amazing, and this recipe looks really, really tempting. Your house must have smelled so wonderful for hours!! Great pick!!
