Super simple cinnamon rolls
"My Grandma makes the best pie dough but we cheat and buy pre-made pie dough in rolls. I love using the pre-made dough because I don’t like having time to knead dough for hours to accomplish pretty much the same thing." - Kortney Wilson

Ingredients
DOUGH
- Premade pie dough
- Flour for dusting work surface
BROWN SUGAR
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup brown sugar.
ICING
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Sprinkle clean work surface with flour
- Roll out the dough so it about doubles the size of the pie dough
- Add more flour if necessary so it doesn’t stick
- Butter the entire thing using a spatula or a knife.
- Use soft butter, not hard. Room temp works best.
- Sprinkle tons of cinnamon over the butter
- And then I sprinkle a bunch of brown sugar over it as well.
- Roll it up into one really long roll and then cut it into a bunch of pieces.
- Bake at 300-350 degrees (depending on how thin the crust is and bake for about 20-30 minutes.
ICING
- While the rolls bake, combine the ingredients for the frosting in a medium bowl. Cover and reserve at room temperature.
- When the rolls are baked, let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then spread or drizzle the icing on top. Serve warm.
- They are so delicious and the kids can even participate since you can't mess up this recipe.
