Those look like the real deal! I love the frosting! Would it be bad to eat these for breakfast? I can't wait to try these!
No way! No WAY!
Nikki… how many times am I going to feature you girl? You made it again. I'll be featuring you tomorrow during STICKER TIME!
definitely going to try these – I have a very good friend who is moving away soon who loves cinnamon, so these will make a super farewell treat
I need to pin this b/c I NEED to make these ASAP, oh my word, maybe I shouldn't….no I will!!
You have the most amazing recipes. I'm doing the cinnamon roll cookies this morning. Can't wait to try another recipe from your wonderful selection! Thank you!
I love cinnamon rolls and I love cookies! What a great combination and they look so elegant, too!
I’m with you – I love cinnamon rolls!! These look divine and I must make them.
Oh my yum! These sound incredible! Pinning :)
why do you need to put the cookies in the refrigerator? There does not appear to be anything that needs long-term refrigeration, Is it to set the icing?
I was wondering the same thing… have you gotten an answer? I was hoping to make these for a holiday cookie exchange but I wouldn’t want everyone to worry about keeping them refrigerated…
You can keep them out for serving. Just because of the cream cheese frosting it is best to store any leftovers in the refrigerator. It just helps to keep them fresh, but I have left them out for a day or two and they still are wonderful :)
Oh MY goodness! I made these this morning and they are so divine!! Amazing, amazing! I’m taking some to my neighbor so say “Happy Birthday” ~~ she will love them! Thanks so much for posting :)
Oh my! Not that I need another reason to eat cinnamon lol, but I will be pinning this recipe none the less! I am visiting via Riches to Rags!

Going to make these for a cookie swap that my daughter and I are hosting when I get to her home in Kansas. Hope they are as good as they look!!!! Happy Holidays to You!!!! :0)
amazing receipes for the holidays… looks really delicious too!!!
I can’t wait to try but I have a question. When you list multiple ingredients and say add slowly, do you mean add each one slowly individually in that order or mix the list together and then add the mixture slowly? I feel silly asking, but I really want these to turn out right.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Christy! You mix the dry ingredients together first then slowly add the mixture in slowly. With the frosting, the reason for the slowly add ingredients is to make sure you get it to you desired consistency. You can just watch it more closely that way :) Let me know if you have anymore questions. I’m happy to answer them.
why do you have to put them in the fridge? i’m not sure i would like them cold
These look yummy and adorable! Can’t wait to make them. Trying out some new cookie recipes this winter :) Found your blog via pintrest. Looks neat – great pictures!
Hey there! (: I love cinnamon rolls!
I just made the dough and was wondering now , if it’s supposed to be that sticky?!
I already put more flour in it, but I’m not sure, if I’ll be able to roll it out.
Putting it in the fridge for a couple hours helps to manage the stickiness when it come to rolling it out. Also when it come to rolling it out, make sure you flour the surface and rolling pin well.
Thank you, I’ll try that and hope that they’ll still turn out as good as they look in your picture! (: Love your blog!
