Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

You'll love creating these fluffy, gooey rolls with a maple icing that adds just the right touch of sweetness.
My favorite part is how the dough, rolled out to a large rectangle, gets an even layer of melted butter before being sprinkled with a cozy cinnamon-sugar mix.
Keep your dough thin for the best texture.
One essential tip is to refrigerate the dough overnight, which allows the flavors to develop beautifully and makes the prep easier the next day.
