I need these, like right now. If I didn't have 3 days worth of prep left for Christmas, I would so make these.

Cinnamon rolls are really easy to make, they just take a while to let them rise.

This feels ambitious -- I don't even know where one buys yeast. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Pillsbury's are gross. I wouldn't want to put this in my body:
Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Water, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Dextrose, Wheat Starch, Baking Powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda), Palm and Soybean Oil, Whey, Salt, Cinnamon, Corn Starch, Corn Syrup Solids, Monoglycerides, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Polysorbate 60, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Yellow 5, Red 40.

If you bought them from a bakery, the ingredient list would be nearly identical. I think they all taste the same. The Pillbury ones are good.

Can this be done without a mixer?

Of course. Kitchaids are super trendy among the food blogger set but you absolutely do not need one. Just mix in a bowl and knead by hand.

I make birthday cakes (to sell!) and baguettes and croissants and have never used a mixer. Yes, they are easier but no, they aren't necessary

We actually bought some Cinnabon rolls last week and they were terrible! The filling was flavorless and just goo and I honestly felt sick after eating it. My 10 year old didn't even want his after one bite. Either they've gotten bad or it's just the smell that gets you in the airport.

Uh, no. Bakeries that are good don't add food coloring or Polysorbate 60 or Corn Syrup and partially hydrogenated oils. They don't add all the preservatives because their food doesn't need a shelf life of a year (disturbing).

Setting aside health reasons, Pillbury's are dry and bland. Make your own or find a local bakery. If Heidelberg bakery in nova makes them, they're bound to be good.

If you want the refrigerated/frozen ease but the taste of homemade, go with:

Trader Joes, the Great Baking Company brand at Whole Foods, or buy these online"

All of those things look normal to me.

Food coloring is no joke, especially for kids:

And "Artificial Flavor" could mean any number of carcinogenic or endocrine-disrupting ingredients.

Shit is just gross. I don't want baked goods made with partially hydrogenated oils and corn syrup.

You can buy yeast in any standard grocery store in the baking/spice aisle. You can get it in little jars or in individual portioned packets. The packets are portioned for bread, so you might need to measure and save the unused yeast in the packets. If you use it regularly, get it in the jar, a lot more cost effective. Once opened, you store the yeast in the refrigerator.

These are really pretty good:

I briefly considered making homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, but my kids like these, so I'm taking the easy way out.

Go to trader joes and get their cinnamon rolls. Throw away the icing that comes with it.

Top with cream cheese frosting:
1 pkg cream cheese
Butter
Powdered sugar
Vanilla

No one will know you didn't make them from scratch !
