Ingredients
 

For the Cinnamon Rolls

  • 2 17.5 ounce cans Grands cinnamon rolls 5 count each
  • 16 ounce package Pillsbury ready-to-bake sugar cookies 24 count
  • 2 tablespoons red and white Valentine sprinkles use whatever seasonal colors you prefer

For the Sugar Cookie Creamer

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup canned sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • tiny pinch of kosher salt optional

For the Frosting

  • 2 containers frosting from Grands cinnamon rolls package
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup reserved prepared sugar cookie creamer
  • tiny pinch of kosher salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove 6 of the sugar cookies from the package. Place the sprinkles into a small flat bowl.
    16 ounce package Pillsbury ready-to-bake sugar cookies, 2 tablespoons red and white Valentine sprinkles
  • Using your palms, roll them into balls and then roll each one in the bowl of sprinkles. Place the cookies onto a baking sheet and bake according to the package directions. Cool completely. (I always bake extra cookies so we have a few for the cinnamon rolls AND for snacking!)
  • In a small mixing bowl, prepare the sugar cookie creamer by whisking together the whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, and kosher salt, if using. Researve and set aside 1/4 cup of this creamer mixture for making the frosting.
    2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, 2/3 cup canned sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, tiny pinch of kosher salt
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Unpackage the cinnamon rolls and place all 10 of them into the prepared pan.

  • Gently pour the remaining prepared sugar cookie creamer over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls, uncovered, on the center oven rack for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and set at the center.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting. Combine the containers of icing that came with each package of cinnamon rolls, along with the reserved 1/4 cup of sugar cookie creamer, powdered sugar, and kosher salt, if using. (If you want thicker icing, you can add a bit more powdered sugar.)

  • Gently frost the warm cinnamon rolls with two-thirds of the prepared frosting. Using your fingers, sprinkle the sugar cookie crumbles over the frosting, using as much or as little as you prefer.
  • Using your fingers, sprinkle the sugar cookie crumbles over the frosting, using as much or as little as you prefer. Warm the remaining half of the frosting for 10 seconds in the microwave. Slowly pour the warm frosting in a drizzle over the sugar cookies on top of the cinnamon rolls. Garnish with a few more sprinkles, if desired. Serve at once while warm.
  • **Cinnamon rolls are definitely best served warm, fresh from the oven or reheated individually in the microwave for 12-15 seconds.

Notes

  1. These cinnamon rolls are best served warm and fresh from the oven.
  2. You can customize them for whatever season or holiday you're celebrating, just by swapping out the sprinkles in the sugar cookies.
  3. Avoid sugar-free creamers for this recipe. You'll want to use the real thing to get great flavor.
