What You’ll Need
- refrigerated biscuits– Look for the Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. Usually near the cookie dough and Crescent Rolls.
- butter– I use salted butter in most of my recipes, but unsalted is just fine too.
- light brown sugar– Light brown sugar is added to the pressed out biscuits with cinnamon before rolling.
- ground cinnamon– Cinnamon adds the perfect spice for cinnamon rolls.
- powdered sugar– Also referred to as confectioners sugar, this sugar is used to make the icing.
- heavy cream– Heavy cream is used to make the icing. No substitutions here.
How To Make Easy Cinnamon Roll Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Unroll biscuits onto a clean countertop and press out with fingers to about 3 inches wide. Spread each biscuit with 1/2 tablespoon of butter then top evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting at the bottom of each round, roll up jelly roll fashion with seam side down on countertop. Use a sharp knife and cut 1/2 inch slices and place onto prepared baking sheet. I cut 6 slices per biscuit making 60 small cinnamon rolls. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until light brown and cooked through. Remove from oven.
- Place powdered sugar and heavy cream into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over hot rolls. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm with a tall glass of milk!
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Starting at the bottom, roll up each biscuit into a little log shape.
All rolled up! Now cut into 1/2 inch pieces, about 6 pieces per rolled biscuit.
Bake for 16 to 20 minutes.
Drizzle the warm cinnamon rolls with icing. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy! I love these little rolls, so perfect for Holidays and weekends.

Recipe Tips For Making Easy Cinnamon Roll Recipe
- Biscuits roll out much more easy when they are not right out of the refrigerator. Let me sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before popping open the can.
- Use unflavored dental floss to cut dough into slices instead of a knife if desired.
- Make sure to drizzle icing when little rolls are still warm. Makes a big difference.
How To Store Leftovers
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat as needed. Note, these are best enjoyed the day of baking.
