these need a name

oh. my. goodness.


So, I don't really want to call these cinnamon balls, but that's basically what they are. Cinnamon rolls with less work :) I forgot to take a picture before we ate half of the pan, they were that delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 9 Rhodes frozen rolls
  • 2 TBSP white sugar
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick butter

Icing:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Cream together until you get the right consistency. I like mine thick but still spreadable.

How to:

  • Stick frozen rolls on a pam-sprayed pie plate, and microwave for about a minute, then cut each roll into 4 pieces with scissors.
  • Melt butter in a small bowl.
  • Combine sugars and cinnamon in another small bowl.
  • Drop each piece dough in the butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar till it's nice and coated. Repeat with all dough.
  • Arrange balls in the pie plate, and cover with plastic.
  • Let rise. I recommend leaving them on the counter if you have to be up at 6:30 and you're making them at midnight, and they should be just right. If you have longer before you want to bake them, stick 'em in the fridge.
  • Bake at 350-ish for about 10 minutes. They will smell amazing.
  • Coat with icing while still warm, and try not to burn your mouth!
