Made these today,and they were wonderful. I also did not use all that butter in the filling. i used brown sugar instead of regular sugar in my filling and some pecans. WONDERFUL...

These are to die for!!!! The recipe was a little time consuming but completely worth it. I will definitely make these the next time we have houseguests for a special breakfast treat. I, also, did not use 12 Tablespoons of butter for the filling. I softened just one stick of butter and I didn't even use the whole thing. I found that much butter unnecessary. Even if you can't roll the dough perfectly and each size bun is different it really doesn't matter. They are so good you aren't going to care what they look like! Also, my yeast mixture did not foam but it didn't matter in the end....the dough still rose. My trick to help dough rise is I turn the microwave on for one minute with nothing in it. Then once the microwave is off and warm inside, I put the bowl of dough in the microwave. That way it stays slightly warm with no drafts and the dough rises. Works for everything!

For my first attempt at cinnamon rolls and working with yeast, I am super proud of how good these turned out and how relatively easy they were to make. Thankfully I read all the reviews so avoided the mistake of using 1¼ oz yeast instead of one ¼ oz package. I ended up making a couple changes to the recipe e.g. reducing the amount of butter in the filling and icing sugar for the glaze. I pretty much halved them and still got the job done. I also never have unsalted butter on hand so I used regular salted one and reduced added salt. Also in my ignorance, my first cup of milk was apparently too hot and my yeast never foamed. The only other milk I had on hand was Vanilla Silk so I had to use that. Based on the reviews I decided to make mine smaller so I ended up with 16 rolls after which I stuck them in the refrigerator overnight. My only complaint was that they weren’t quite as moist as I like my rolls. Perhaps I should have reduced the cooking time after making the rolls smaller.

These were really easy to make and oh so yummy...BUT... they were missing something and I figured it out for next time. The entire recipe calls for non-salt butter, however, in the filling and icing some salted butter would have made them AMAZING!!! I worked at Cinnabon for a short period of time nd these were pretty dang close! Thanks for sharing :-

Mm, Delicious. I found you don't have to let them rise all the way, and, as others have said, I will cut the log it twelve, not six. They are time consuming, but well worth the weight. Also, only 8 tbsp are needed for the filling. Wow, these are delicious!!

I followed the recipe exactly and my dough did not come out right. It is much darker than the picture and isn't flaky or heavenly. Cinnamon buns are just that "almost famous" not bad but not incredible. Very Disappointed...
