This was my first try at making cinnamon rolls - and although it did take me a lot longer to get them made because I couldn't get the dough to rise at first - they turned out AMAZING. I made them for the family and for friends at Christmas and I received several calls afterward complimenting them. Thank you!

Oh my word... I am 52 years old and decided I was going to learn how to REALLY cook and bake. I decided to try the Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls for gifts for family, friends and for Christmas morning, after watching an this episode one Saturday morning. I messed up the first batch, didn't let my milk mixture cool enough before adding yeast. I tasted the second batch and thought oh my these are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had and I made them (of course that was my own opinion. Later I received a thank you note from my neighbor, he wrote, those were the best cinnamon rolls I have ever tasted... make sure you keep that recipe. I loved the maple frosting... and I also made a powder sugar frosting... delicious. WOW! Not bad for my first time. Thank You Ree Drummond and Food Network.

I am NOT a baker, and these actually came out like cinnamon rolls! After reading through the comments, and not being a maple fan, I used Denise Chadds Ford's cream cheese icing and they were fabulous! The first half didn't turn out as pretty as the second half of the batch because I didn't follow directions and rolled the first half away from me rather than toward me. (It's easier when you roll them toward you. I also made sure that on each batch, I started with a clean counter and and then floured it well. If I can make these, anyone can. One other note: Even if they dry out a little from sitting for a few days, they still taste great and have more of a cookie consistency. (My family was gone when I made them so they didn't get eaten in the first 10 minutes of making them.

This recipe was easy to make and soooooooo good. I will never buy them in the store again. I did use Sandra lees cream cheese frosting instead of the maple this time but both are delicious.

For years I had been too intimidated to try making home made cinnamon rolls. I decided to try it out and give them as Christmas gifts this year (thanks for the awesome idea Ree!!. I have to say it making the rolls was fun and easy! My husband helped (not because it was hard, just something new to do together....we made quite a mess with all the butter, cinnamon & sugar oozing all over the place.....but it was a lot of fun. The recipe was easy to follow & the results were so very tasty. Now I just have to convince myself I can only make these at Christmas so I don't eat double my weight in cinnamon rolls!! These were to die for & I can't wait to make them again (& my friends and family can't wait to receive them as gifts again.

Love these and the idea of a big batch to deliver. I love to cook, and this recipe is a joy to make, then deliver to friends for Christmas breakfast. I added pecans to most batches because a favorite of mine. Otherwise, I stuck with the recipe verbatim; like I usually do with baking anything. So easy, great descriptions of how it will look, "gooey", and the size of the dough "about 10 x 30". I ground some freshly roasted coffee beans and delivered some to coffee drinking friends with the buns. Yum and celebratory !

Part 1 - Halve the recipe unless you are baking for the entire neighborhood or five college boys. I made sure that the liquid portion of the recipe was between 105 and 110 degrees before using it. The dough is a very sticky, so you’ll need more flour. Chilling the dough overnight is a MUST. I also softened the butter and added the other ingredients to make a smooth paste. I used a paintbrush to spread the filling easily and neatly. In “Round 2” they became apple cinnamon rolls. Got a 21 oz. can of Comstock Caramel Apple pie filling. Poured half into a strainer and rinsed off the “gook”. Added it back to the other half and chopped the apples into very small pieces. Sprinkled those on the prepared dough. Rolled the dough as suggested, but cut them bigger. Really, who wants a measly half inch roll? I used dental floss to slice the dough; cuts them just right.

The only problem with this recipe is it makes mess in the kitchen ... and once you make them, everyone wants them again, and again, and again! They are fabulous with a big cup of coffee! I' made them and frozen several tin pie pans full, then several weeks later baked them and took them to Bible study... the women there wanted the recipe and ate everyone one!

These are really good. I'm going to make them for Christmas. And @ crmcooper, there are two reasons your batch didn't rise. Your milk, oil, and sugar mixture was too hot or not up to proper temperature or your yeast was bad. Keep on cookin'.

I have made this recipe at least 6 times. These rolls are awful! Flat, greasy awful! I just do not get what everyone loves here. Yes, they are easy, but mine are never fluffy, always greasy. Today, I followed the recipe TO THE LETTER. Same result. In the trash, waste of time and ingredients. Ree, what's wrong with this recipe?
