Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling for nicer slices and less stickiness. You can switch up the filling by adding nuts or chocolate chips. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to increase the cinnamon in both dough and filling. Consider drizzling a simple glaze over the top once they are cool for added decadence. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days, or freeze for extended storage.
