Easy Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

 These are a new treasure at our house, warm rolls filled with brown sugar and cinnamon and topped with gooey caramel sauce and chopped pecans!  I am always looking for recipes for breakfast that I can make the night before to help with the morning rush.  Simple to make using frozen bread dough and yummy to eat.  My family likes a lot of caramel on their rolls so I double the heavy cream and powdered sugar mixture to give it the extra goo my family loves.   Enjoy!

Ingredients

· 1¼ cups powdered sugar

· 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

· 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped

· 1/2 cup brown sugar

· 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

· 2 frozen white bread dough loaves thawed

· 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

1. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. It will be a thick paste, which is normal.

Spread into the baking dish using a spoon or spatula.

3. Sprinkle pecans over top.

4. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl, set aside.

5. On a surface, sprayed with cooking spray & lightly floured, roll out 1 loaf into a rectangle [roughly the same size as the 9x13 pan]. Pour half of the butter onto the dough and spread it out. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the butter.

* You may need to let the thawed dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it softer and easier to roll out.

6. Roll up the dough [roll up from the longer side of the rectangle shape, not the shorter sides] and cut dough roll into 8 pieces.

Place each piece in the pan on top of the pecans. Do 4 rows of 4 cinnamon rolls in each row.

7. Repeat with the 2nd loaf of bread.

8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray [the part of the plastic wrap that touches the rolls].

9. Leave in fridge overnight. In the morning, let the baking dish sit out, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour.

10. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

11. Let the baking dish cool for 5 minutes.

12. Carefully take your pan and turn it upside down, over a serving platter or cutting board, and serve warm.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
