What You’ll Need

• refrigerated biscuits– Look for the Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. Usually near the cookie dough and Crescent Rolls.
• butter– I use salted butter in most of my recipes, but unsalted is just fine too.
• light brown sugar– Light brown sugar is added to the pressed out biscuits with cinnamon before rolling.
• ground cinnamon– Cinnamon adds the perfect spice for cinnamon rolls.
• powdered sugar– Also referred to as confectioners sugar, this sugar is used to make the icing.
• heavy cream– Heavy cream is used to make the icing. No substitutions here.

How To Make Easy Cinnamon Roll Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Unroll biscuits onto a clean countertop and press out with fingers to about 3 inches wide. Spread each biscuit with 1/2 tablespoon of butter then top evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting at the bottom of each round, roll up jelly roll fashion with seam side down on countertop. Use a sharp knife and cut 1/2 inch slices and place onto prepared baking sheet. I cut 6 slices per biscuit making 60 small cinnamon rolls. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until light brown and cooked through. Remove from oven.
3. Place powdered sugar and heavy cream into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over hot rolls. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm with a tall glass of milk!

Sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Starting at the bottom, roll up each biscuit into a little log shape.

All rolled up! Now cut into 1/2 inch pieces, about 6 pieces per rolled biscuit.

Bake for 16 to 20 minutes.

Drizzle the warm cinnamon rolls with icing. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy! I love these little rolls, so perfect for Holidays and weekends.

Recipe Tips For Making Easy Cinnamon Roll Recipe

1. Biscuits roll out much more easy when they are not right out of the refrigerator. Let me sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before popping open the can.
2. Use unflavored dental floss to cut dough into slices instead of a knife if desired.
3. Make sure to drizzle icing when little rolls are still warm. Makes a big difference.

How To Store Leftovers

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat as needed. Note, these are best enjoyed the day of baking.
