How Do I Make Family Favorite Cinnamon Rolls?

Caramel Sauce:

• Add brown sugar and ice cream: bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9″ x 13″ pan.

Rolls:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• When the bread machine is finished cycling, remove dough from pan and turn onto a lightly buttered or floured surface, or if you have mixed the dough in a mixer, do the same thing.
• Pat the dough into a rectangle. About 18′ x 12″.
• Spread the softened butter onto the dough, and then sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Then add the brown sugar over the top of the cinnamon.

• Cut into 12 rolls, either with a serrated knife or a piece of dental floss.
• Place the rolls into the caramel sauce and allow the rolls to rise, about double, or about 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and frost with cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

This is by far our favorite cinnamon roll recipe. We love how ooey-gooey they are, and I’m not going to lie, I have tried other recipes and my kids get really frustrated with me. That is why I am posting this recipe right now.

I usually double the recipe and one pan gets raisins and one pan doesn’t. We are a mixed family when it comes to raisins.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, you just might want to make your favorite person that does so much for you some Family Favorite Cinnamon Rolls.  These family favorite cinnamon rolls work up in about 2 hours. I even like to make them the night before and then in the morning get up and then roll them out.
