There’s a joy in baking that comes from more than the recipe. It's how we bring our family together - everyone seems to wander into the kitchen once the smell starts filling the house! These Sweet Drop Cinnamon Sugar Rolls are exactly that kind of recipe.


Shaped into soft twists, baked golden, and brushed with butter before being rolled in Sweet Drop, they’re simple to make but feel special. They remind us of bakery windows and holiday mornings, but with the added sweetness of being homemade.


What we love most about these rolls is how quickly they turn into a gathering food. You can’t really eat them quietly — they beg to be passed around, pulled apart, and enjoyed warm. And that’s the heart of it: another reminder that every good story starts at the table.

Notes

Best served warm, right after baking.
