OUR GIFT TO YOU
PUMPKIN SPICED CINNAMON ROLLS WITH A MAPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
*This item will cook in the oven at 325°F.
Estimated bake time: 20 minutes
Store cinnamon rolls in refrigerator. When ready to enjoy, take the cinnamon rolls out of the refrigerator. Remove aluminum cover, and replace with plastic wrap or towel. Let rolls sit out and come up to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Remove the rolls from plastic wrap and place on a pan into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the edges of roll. You want just slightly golden-brown edges, so they stay soft in the middle! Remove them from oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before frosting with the maple cream cheese frosting.
*Cinnamon rolls can be stored frozen for later use. If placed in freezer, let rolls thaw in fridge overnight. Then proceed with remaining instructions*
