My family usually had cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning when I was growing up.
They were simple to bake while my sister and I unwrapped gifts, and they were delicious – gooey, soft, and coated in creamy cream cheese icing.
Christmas morning joy as an adult is no longer based on what gifts are under the tree.
I’m looking forward to spending time with my family, and cinnamon rolls still seem like the perfect way to start the day.
Every year around the holidays, I make this cinnamon roll recipe. It’s quite simple, and the handmade cinnamon rolls are far superior to store-bought versions.
They’re filled with brown sugar and cinnamon and are soft and gooey all the way through.
A generous smear of vanilla glaze is the ideal sweet finishing touch.
