Cinnamon Rolls made by Lauren

Lauren pulled out her favorite cookbook the other day, ("Paula Deen's My First Cookbook") and asked if she could make the Cinnamon Rolls. She looked through all the pictures and settled on this recipe. Since we had all the 'fixins' I told her "of course you can!"

She had so much fun making these cinnamon rolls, I thought I'd share the recipe.

(she absolutely loves this cookbook)

Paula Deen's Cinnamon Rolls

from Paula Deen's My First Cookbook by Paula Deen with Martha Nesbit

What You'll Need:

Cookie Sheet

Parchment Paper

Oven mitts or hot pads

Plates and forks

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls)

8 large marshmallows

Cinnamon sugar; made by mixing 1/2 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon

What You'll Do:

1. Turn on the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Separate the dough into 8 triangles. Place 1 marshmallow right in the middle of each triangle. Sprinkle each marshmallow with some of the cinnamon sugar.

3. Bring up all of the sides of the roll to completely cover the marshmallow, pinching all of the edges together so that none of the marshmallow shows.

4. Cover the cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place the rolls on the parchment paper, making sure none of them are touching. Sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar.

5. Bake the rolls for about 10 minutes, until they are light brown and puffed up. Have your adult helper use oven mitts or hot pads to remove the cookie sheet from the oven.

6. Serve warm on plates, with forks to eat them with.

Here are the rolls fresh out of the oven.

While they baked the kids enjoyed some some underwear-only time around the house so for modesty's sake I made it look like Lauren was swarmed by a million flies.

Flies or not these rolls were EZ and DELISH.
