More About This Recipe
- If you love the taste of cinnamon rolls, then you will absolutely love these easy cinnamon roll cookies (and you have an excuse to eat cinnamon rolls at any time of day now, too!). We like this recipe topped with traditional cream cheese icing, but feel free to switch things up! You can heat up some semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of these cookies, or you could try a bit of Nutella for an even more decadent twist, too. Make a big batch of these for a party like the recipe suggests, but also know you can scale down this recipe and make these cookies with leftover pie crust scraps if you just finished making a pie. Whatever way you decide to make these and when, one thing is for certain: they are simply delicious. Looking for some more cookie ideas?
