Oh my, but these are yummy. And super easy.
When I made the cinnamon roll, I used a cinnamon sugar blend that I had already made and sprinkled on some brown sugar. I also made half the recipe with a Trader Joe's product called Cookie Butter (think gingersnaps flavor with the consistancy of peanut butter.) and just used the cookie butter and skipped the butter.
Also rolled the biscuits more into rectangles which made it easier.
