Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls

This is the time of year where the days start to cool down and we tend to bake more. I love these cinnamon rolls because they’re easy to make and they freeze well.

Cinnamon Rolls

The kids can take one out of the freezer in the morning and it’s thawed by the time lunch rolls around at school. Convenient and delicious snacks are a must have for the school season.

Once you make these once you’ll be making them all the time, its easier then it looks and they’re great for bake sales, parties, or to eat at home.

    Can you go ahead and prepare them then freeze and bake them as needed? If so, how long can they freeze for?
