HEALTHIER CLONE OF A CINNABON
Who doesn't love a Cinnabon? These taste so yummy but I always look for a way to make things a little healthier without changing the taste. I just spread a little less butter and use Neufchatel cheese and this recipe still tastes great.

CLONE OF A CINNABON
This recipe is fabulous! The dough is so sweet.This comes from the Allrecipes website. I can't believe this isn't posted here so I thought I'd put it here for safekeeping. My husband thinks these are the greatest thing I make. Sometimes I add raisins (his favorite). Rising time isn't included in the time but it takes about 3 hrs. total time.

Tips:
- For a gooey, cinnamon-sugar filling, use a combination of light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- To make the dough easier to work with, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a tall glass to roll out the dough.
- To create the signature Cinnabon swirl, spread the filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly starting from the long edge.
- Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a golden, caramelized crust.
- For a cream cheese frosting that's both tangy and sweet, use a combination of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- To achieve the perfect gooey center, bake the rolls until they're just golden brown on top.
