Equipment

  • Wooden Spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Parchment paper - I used this on the bottom of my baking pan
  • Baking twine

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ½ cups All-purpose flour
  • cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Packets Instant Yeast
  • 1 ⅓ cup Milk
  • cup Unsalted Butter cut into cubes
  • 1 Large egg (optional if you want an eggless recipe)

Instructions
 

  • On the stove, add the milk and butter on medium heat until it's warm. It has to be WARM not hot or this mixture will ruin the yeast. Some pieces of the butter won't be melted fully but that's okay.
  • In another bowl add 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast and one egg
  • Slowly add the butter mixture into the flour and yeast mixture and use a wooden spoon to mix everything together. If you don't have this use a mixer with a dough attachment.
    Add another two cups and continue to mix. Finish this dog with the final ½ cup of flour.
    Once everything is blended together poke the dough. If it bounces back it's ready. If not hand knead the dough for another five minutes. And yes, your hands will hurt. Let the dough rise not covered in a bowl for an hour.
  • Once the dough is done after an hour. Roll it out into a rectangle and smooth the 1 tablespoon of butter on the dough. Then add the cookie butter to the dough. Now you can either roll the dough up normally into a lot or do the method I tried. I used a pizza cutter and then rolled the dough. After that I used my baking twine to cut the rolls up even smaller.
  • Cover the rolls with a towel for another hour and preheat your oven to 350. I used parchment paper on my baking tray but you can spray baking spray down so the rolls don't stick.
  • After an hour, pop the rolls into the oven for 35 minutes at 350. The cinnamon rolls will be golden brown.
  • Additional: I added a cream cheese frosting on top but you can use whatever you want on top!
