Frequently Asked Questions:

I will be hosting a party. Can I assemble the cookie dough ahead?

Yes! Cover it with cling wrap and chill until you are ready to bake them. Do not pour the melted butter, but pour it when you are about to bake them.

Can I use salted butter for this recipe?

No, you need to use unsalted butter. The salted butter would affect the taste and would make your cinnamon roll bites salty, even with the sweet glaze on top.

Can you freeze cinnamon bites?

Yes, store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap on a plate before freezing for 8 hours or up to 6 weeks.
