Few things are as scrumptious as a homemade, overnight cinnamon roll, yet it can be really hard to either find a great recipe and/or make them. But after trying numerous recipes and several attempts at cinnamon rolls, I found victory last Christmas. Here are my favorite.

Overnight Cinnamon Roll Tips
This recipe is actually really straightforward and easy, but I usually do more work before I go to bed. The goal for me is to wake up early in the morning, pull out the dough, and then finish them off. To do this, here's how I modify:
- Use a rapid rise yeast
- After I mix the dough, I go ahead and roll out, spread the butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling
- Put the rolls in the fridge overnight
- In the morning, pull out of the fridge about an hour before baking to let them rise a bit, and then bake according to directions
