Ashley Craft | 2nd Nov 17
Glad you like it! These rolls are super delicious. Be sure to subscribe and share with your friends! Thanks for the support!
Anna | 17th Jul 20
Was there salt in the instructions for the cream cheese frosting meant to be whipping cream?
Ashley Craft | 17th Jul 20
Yes, that’s exactly right. Thanks for catching that! It will be fixed in my book 🙂
Ginny | 6th Dec 20
TFS this recipe sweetie. I will definitely try making these cinnamon rolls some time next week. Will let you know the results

I’ve made this several times now. I love making the dough, something about it make me (as I’m dancing to Elvis) smile! It’s very good I hand wrote this one in my cookbook, so it’s special! Thanks again! Now to watch Beaty abs the beast and sugar rush!
Ashley Craft | 10th Dec 20
Thanks for making me smile! Glad you love the recipe 🙂

To this day my family talks about these cinnamon rolls from Gaston’s place. Thanks for the recipe.
Ashley Craft | 19th Dec 18
They are so good!! I think the large size (equals more soft interior) and the butterscotch topping make this irresistible!
Lacey | 24th Nov 19
The first time I made these, I skipped the butterscotch (we didn’t have enough butter😔). I made them again, because they were amazing, and they are SO MUCH BETTER with the butterscotch!! These are a staple in our house now! Thank you so much for this spectacular recipe!!
Ashley Craft | 24th Nov 19
You just made my day! Glad you love it!

At the risk of sounding stupid. I’ve seen recipes worded both ways, so I wanted to check. Does it want 6 and 1/2 cups flour or 6, 1/2 cups of flour (which would end up being 3 cups)? Thank you.
Ashley Craft | 21st Mar 20
That would be 6.5 cups of flour. It’s a lot of dough! Enjoy making these!
Aeo | 29th Mar 20
The cream isn’t mentioned for the cream cheese frosting . Does it go in at the same time as the powdered sugar?
Ashley Craft | 29th Mar 20
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out! I’ll fix it when I get over to a computer.

Would active dry yeast work? I can’t seem to get my hands on any packets.
Ashley Craft | 3rd Apr 20
I have only tried it with Rapid Rise yeast, but I assume that active dry would work too. When it is rising, just give it some extra time.
Allison Wild | 4th Apr 20
Thank you! I am goi MT to attempt it, I found info that says I need to use 25% more of the active dry yeast. Last question, can these be made ahead and stores in the fridge before baking?
Ashley Craft | 4th Apr 20
Again, I never tried that but I certainly think it would work! I always eat them as soon as I can 🙂
Allison Wild | 4th Apr 20
Thank you! We’re doing a “day at Disney” tomorrow for my sons 4th birthday so I want to try and have all the yummy treats ready to put in the oven in the morning. Thank you!!! I’m so excited to try them!
Ashley Craft | 4th Apr 20
Oh wow, what a fun idea! I love that! Happy Birthday to your son!
Deborah Hendren | 4th Apr 20
I’m making these for the first time this morning and I have a question. In step 19, it says “Next add the powdered sugar and stir. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and salt. Put aside”.
Salt is not listed as an ingredient on the items with the cream cheese frosting. Is salt a typo? If not, how much do we add? Also, adding the heavy whipping cream isn’t included on step 19. Do we add it?
Ashley Craft | 4th Apr 20
Yes that was a typo. Sub out the word salt for heavy cream. Thanks for asking! Hope you enjoy them!
Amanda | 5th Apr 20
A lot of the filling leaked out of mine when baking; do you have any suggestions to prevent that from happening?
Ashley Craft | 5th Apr 20
Humm. I didn’t have that problem myself. Perhaps your butter was too soft? Or try to roll it tighter? Just scoop up all the filling and pile it all on top 😂.
Amanda | 5th Apr 20
Thanks; I did pile it on top and was still delicious! I’ll try booth of those tips next time 🙂
Ashley Craft | 5th Apr 20
Good luck!

How many cinnamon rolls does this make? (I know it says 12 servings but I was unsure if 1 cinnamon roll is one serving)
Ashley Craft | 6th Apr 20
It makes two large cinnamon rolls that have about 2-4 servings each, and then the extra dough makes about 8 standard size rolls
Keri | 9th Apr 20
Do these freeze well? I want to make several batches ahead of time and then just make the toppings morning of.
Ashley Craft | 9th Apr 20
What a good idea! I haven’t done it like that, but I assume if you cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil they would freeze fine. Let me know how it goes!
Alexa | 21st Sep 20
Hi! Did you ever try to freeze the cinnamon rolls and if so, how did they turn out?! I’m going on maternity leave in a couple of weeks and would love to prep a batch of these to have in the freezer.
Ashley Craft | 21st Sep 20
I haven’t tried to freeze them before, but I would just look up online how you can freeze cinnamon rolls and follow those instructions. Congrats on your baby!
Katie Sidwell | 18th Apr 20
How long do you cook if you make normal rolls out the dough instead of the giant? How many normal rolls would this make?
Ashley Craft | 18th Apr 20
It would depend on how big you cut them and how big your dough rectangle is, but probably about 12-20 rolls. Put them in a greased 9×13 pan and bake for 15-20 minutes and check for doneness.
Katie Sidwell | 18th Apr 20
Thank you for your quick response!! I’ll let you know how they turn out
Ashley Craft | 18th Apr 20
Please do!
Carol Toone | 19th Apr 20
I am making these this morning, and this may be a stupid questions, but I have always “activated” yeast in water and sugar before adding it to the other ingredients. Am I supposed to do that here or just add it to the other ingredients?
Ashley Craft | 19th Apr 20
Just add it where it says in the instructions! The warm butter and milk will activate it. Good luck!
Beverly | 22nd Apr 20
Could I use my bread machine just to make the dough?
Ashley Craft | 22nd Apr 20
You can, I have just found it easier to do it in a stand mixer. But yes if you want to add all the dough ingredients and run it on the dough setting, it should work! Just make sure you have a big bread machine because this makes a lot of dough!
Lauren | 4th Jun 20
I made these and they were wonderful, three things I struggles with though…. 1 my standard stand mixer was not having it when I got up to about 5.5 cups of flour I had to switch to hand mixing and kneading. 2. I didn’t realize the rolls needed to be supported on the sides and tried to bake them on flat baking sheets, I was able to course correct part way through but many unraveled and lost some filling. 3. Even though they unraveled, I struggled with knowing when the middles were done.
But like I said in the very beginning these are wonderful and I will certainly make them again.
Ashley Craft | 4th Jun 20
Thanks for letting me know! I always love feedback on how my recipes can be more clear!
Erin Meyer | 25th Nov 20
Without your video and photos, I would never have figured out the direction of ‘make a cut in the center of the roll, then cut about 6” from the center on either side to make 2 giant rolls.’ I found the recipe somewhere else and was completely confounded as to what that direction was telling me to do. Then, I see your photos and video which clearly explained it. Thank you!!!
Ginny | 6th Dec 20
TFS this recipe sweetie. I will definitely try making these cinnamon rolls some time next week. Will let you know the results
