Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Most everyone loves warm yummy Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. If you've had the pleasure of tasting the pure deliciousness of these cinnamon rolls at the airport or a shopping mall, you're familiar with their awesome goodness.

Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Copycat Recipe

active dry yeast OR rapid rise yeast (2 + 1/4 teaspoons)

milk

eggs,

butter

salt

all-purpose flour

butter, softened

brown sugar, packed

cinnamon

unsalted butter (8 tablespoons)*

cream cheese

vanilla vanilla

In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in warm milk until lightly foamy.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.

Attach the bowl to the mixer along with the dough hook. Kneed the dough for about 4 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.

Grease a clean mixing bowl with butter. Transfer the dough to the buttered bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Allow dough to rise undisturbed for one hour or until doubled in size.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUGH

Generously grease one rectangular baking dish (or two square bakers) with butter. Put aside.

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar together. Transfer the mixture to a sugar shaker (this will eliminate any lumps from the brown sugar). Put aside.

Transfer the dough to a clean pastry board lightly dusted with flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangle that&#8217;s approximately twelve inches by sixteen inches.

With a spatula, spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Using the sugar shaker, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the entire surface of the dough.

From the long end, carefully roll the dough into a log. With a knife or floss, cut the dough into 12 cinnamon rolls. Transfer cinnamon rolls to the buttered baking dish, leaving enough space in between.

Cover the baking dish with a towel. Allow cinnamon rolls to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Adjust your oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Uncover the cinnamon rolls. Tent the baking dish with foil. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15 minutes with the foil tent. Remove the foil tent and bake for another 10 minutes or until cinnamon rolls are lightly golden brown. (Total baking time &#8211; approximately 25 minutes.)

Prepare the icing while the cinnamon rolls are baking.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING

In a mixing bowl, whip the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Using an icing spatula, frost the baked cinnamon rolls with icing while they&#8217;re still warm.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICING

Made these exactly as stated and they turned out perfect.  Will make them again.

i love this recipe and use it regularly. Can you hand nead the dough instead of using the dough hook? My kitchenaid just broke on me :(

My husband loves  Cinnamon buns with raisins and pecans . I added them on top after the icing while still warm. Omg! I just saying

I just wanted to say thank you for the photos provided and even the added photos of the tools you’ll need. I appreciate it because I not only like to read what I’m doing but I’m a visual learner so to see what it should look like is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

This recipe took me to Cinnabon in the mall. It is a perfect replica of Cinnabon buns. I loved it! Next time I will add less sugar overall so I won't feel guilty having an extra piece.  If you don't like desserts sweet you will need to cut the sugar in the recipe. It is truly easy to make and worth it.

Just Amazing! I finally found the perfect Cinnabon copycat recipe. Thank you!!!

I just have to say that I have made this recipe several times and my family loves them. I do have to let you know that the printable version of your recipe is a bit bad. your social media buttons are actually on the printed version and black the left side of the page covering up directions and part of the nutrition facts. There are large blank spots where the plethora of ads on the page was. Also on the page, a lot of your Google AdSense ads are covering content. I understand and am okay with the ads as I have a lot of friends who also use them but they really need to be moved to where they are not covering content. Otherwise, your instructions are very clear and the recipe is great.

These are the best I’ve had without going to the Cinnabon in the mall. Easy recipe to follow as well. I’m still trying to figure out how to construct the chocolate Cinnabons though. The only place I ever saw ( and gorged on) was in the Phoenix airport. If you know about those( like the kind of chocolate they use and how to incorporate, I’d love it.
Thanks, Cindy K

This recipe is deliciously amazing! I made these yesterday because I wanted Cinnabon and these were everything I could have ever wanted in a cinnamon roll!!!

In my search for Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls I found this website. And I must say that I am very lucky and happy to have found this recipe.
I made these cinnamon rolls for a friend of mine as a surprise for her birthday. 
The rolls are very light and fluffy. And it was the very first time that a yeast dough turned out so perfectly for me.
My friend, her family and especially her son loved and enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. This recipe is definetly a keeper for me. And I look forward to discovering more delicious recipe on this website. 
Keep up the great work.

I just did it!
I put the ingredients on bread machine, select “dough”, follow the next steps and  the rolls came out delicious!!

Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s better than Cinnabon imho. 
I was a little confused with the pictures of your equipment because the sugar shaker is way way different. I am assuming yours is a norpro sugar and flour shaker.. looks exactly like my norpro.
