It has been a long time since I found the recipe for Molly’s Rolls. The recipe has been a favorite of mine ever since discovering it and I have been wanting to make cinnamon rolls with the dough. I was finally able to make Molly’s Cinnamon Rolls and they turned out wonderfully.
You roll the dough up differently to help make the rolls into a heart shape. Then you can add a little food coloring to the icing to make it a pretty pink color. Or you could leave the icing white and sprinkle on some Valentine’s sprinkles.
