Best Cinnamon Rolls image

When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste but they were still very good. The dough was very soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon filling was very flavorful.

These cinnamon rolls were very good. The dough was a bit too dense for my taste but the cinnamon filling was very flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again but I'll try to find a recipe with a lighter dough.
