Cinnamon Roll Bites

Hello everyone! It has been slightly warmer around here, and we even got a thunderstorm! When I saw this recipe on High Heels and Grills I made these cinnamon roll bites for my dad for Valentine's Day and they tasted surprisingly like cinnamon rolls, without all the complicated process! They are best when they are warm, but you could eat them cold if you want. The ones in the picture don't have glaze on them, but they were good anyways. The glaze just makes it even better! Enjoy!! :) 

                                                       

                            Cinnamon Roll Bites

               Dough:

                              

                         1 1/2 cups water (about 110*)

                         1 Tablespoon active, dry yeast

                         2 Tablespoons sugar

                         1 tsp. salt

                         2 Tablespoons oil

                         3 1/2-4 cups all-purpose flour

      

                         3/4 cup sugar

                         1/4 cup brown sugar

                         1 Tablespoon cinnamon

                         1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick) 

             Glaze:

       

                        1 cup powdered sugar

                        2-3 Tablespoons milk

                        2 Tablespoons butter, melted

                        1/2 tsp. vanilla

In a medium bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar and let it sit for five minutes. 

Add the salt and oil and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the flour until the dough is well mixed and no longer sticky. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth and elastic, then place in a greased bowl and let it sit until doubled in size. (About an hour) 

Preheat the oven to 375*. 

In a small bowl, melt the butter. In a separate bowl, combine the sugars and cinnamon. Break off small pieces of dough and roll them into a ball. Dip each one into the butter, then the cinnamon sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes. 

Place the balls on a cooling rack and prepare the glaze. 

To make the glaze, simply combine all of the ingredients together until smooth. 

Drizzle the glaze over each of the balls and enjoy! 

I liked mine warm best, because they are softer that way. :)
