Cinnamon Rolls

As I am sitting here writing this, it is snowing outside. Its not just a little, its coming down hard. On a day like this a nice warm, gooey, delicious cinnamon roll is just what I need. Preferably a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. There isnt one by where I live anymore. It left the mall. Oh, I loved Cinnabon. These taste almost exactly the same. You should definitely make these, they are so good!
