What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make easy cinnamon rolls at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.
- 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.
- 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 and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Press Biscuits and Top With Brown Sugar/Cinnamon. 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.
Roll Dough Seam Side Down. Starting at the bottom of each round, roll up jelly roll fashion with seam side down on countertop.
Cut Dough Into Slices. 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. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until light brown and cooked through. Remove from oven.
Prepare Icing. 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!
Drizzle Rolls With Icing. 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
Use these simple tips to help make the best recipe!
- Let Biscuit Dough Sit at Room Temperature. 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.
- Dental Floss For Cutting. Use unflavored dental floss to cut dough into slices instead of a knife if desired.
- Ice Rolls While Warm. Make sure to drizzle icing when little rolls are still warm. Makes a big difference.
How to Serve Cinnamon Rolls?
These little cinnamon rolls are great at special occasions such as brunch at home with friends, baby showers, Easter Sunday, General Conference Weekend, Christmas morning to name a few. I love that they are quick to prepare, so less time in the kitchen for the cook. Everyone loves these little bites.
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.

As a kid I was super into dollhouses. I promise I didn’t grow up creepy because of it though. But I did grow up with the mentality of “MINI EVERYTHING!!!!”. So I am just saying, I am cooing up a storm here.
Anything mini is a winner in my book! These look amazing!
These are adorable and I would eat WAY too many of them!!
