Ingredients

1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls 12-count
½ cup salted butter 4 ounces, room temperature
½ cup packed light brown sugar 105 grams
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 8 grams
½ teaspoon vanilla extract 5 grams
1 cup powdered sugar 130 grams
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract 3 grams

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet or 9x13" baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Without separating the rolls, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally so you have a top and bottom slab, like you're making a giant sandwich. I cut them closer to the top 1/3 so the butter has space to soak into the rolls without making the bottoms soggy. 1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable. ½ cup salted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar , 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish. Spread the ¾ of the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the surface. Add the top slab of rolls back on. Spread the remaining ¼ cup cinnamon butter over the top.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 5 minutes, until the tops are golden and the filling is melty and bubbling slightly.
While the rolls are baking, use a hand mixer to whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Spread over the warm rolls once they come out of the oven. Serve warm. 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon filling for a little crunch.
Try apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice instead of plain cinnamon for a fall twist.
Storage: These are best served immediately, but that doesn't mean they aren't good the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or cover in plastic wrap. Warm them if you'd like, but my kids eat them room temperature.
