Cinnabon Rolls

One of my friends on Pinching your pennies asked for our favorite cinnamon roll recipe. She mentioned she loves Cinnabon Rolls so I shared the recipe. I have never had 'real' Cinnabon Rolls but my mom-in-law gave this to me several years ago. They are great! Just melt in your mouth!
