How to Make Hawaiian Roll Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is effortless to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a small bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon with a hand mixer. Without separating the rolls, cut the entire loaf horizontally and place the bottom half of the rolls in a 9×13-inch baking dish or baking pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Spread 2/3 of the cinnamon butter mixture over the bottom buns. Add top half of the rolls. Spread the remaining cinnamon butter over the tops of the buns. Bake in a preheated oven until warm and toasty.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle glaze over the top of the warm rolls.
