Frosted Cinnamon Icebox Rolls image

This recipe is wonderful because you can prepare the rolls the night before and bake them in the morning. My mom's friend Inge shared this with our family over 30 years ago and it is still a family favorite. Enjoy!

I followed the recipe exactly and the cinnamon rolls turned out terribly. The dough was dry and the cinnamon sugar filling was clumpy.

These cinnamon rolls were not as good as I had hoped. The dough was dense and the frosting was too sweet.
