Ingredients

  • 1 package 36 count frozen unbaked dinner rolls (see NOTES)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 oz cream cheese cut in small cubes (optional)

GLAZE

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp cream

Instructions

  • Spray or grease a 9 or 10-inch cake pan or springform pan.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  • Dip frozen rolls in melted butter, then coat with the cinnamon sugar. You won't use all the rolls; store the extra in the freezer.
  • Place in the prepared pan, spacing about 1-2-inches apart.
  • If using the cream cheese, place the pieces in the spaces between the rolls (the cheese will not melt when it bakes)
  • Cover the pan with a sheet of greased plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If rolls are not double in bulk the next morning, remove them from the fridge and let them stand, covered, in a draft-free place for 30-60 minutes.
  • You may sprinkle the rolls with additional cinnamon sugar and additional melted butter if you like.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake rolls for 30-35 minutes or until nicely browned.
  • Mix glaze and drizzle over rolls.

Notes

If you can't find the rolls, then thaw a loaf of unbaked white bread and form into rolls about the size of a walnut.
