    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.

        This will blow your body out of ketosis. You might want to look into something else.

      Why is milk listed on the recipe if it’s not used to make anything? 🙂

        Hi Hannah,
        Yes, you can assemble them ahead. Just cover them with cling wrap and chill. Then pour the melted butter only when you are about to bake. Happy baking!

      Very good and so easy. I was a bit leery at first to put back in the oven AFTER pouring on the glaze, but this was just fine. Gave the glaze a shiny and firm texture. I will definitely make these again. Thank you.

      This is an amazing recipe! I’ve made them several times now, I’m actually waiting for some to come out of the oven right now! The only changes I make are that I dip them in melted butter before rolling them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and then pour a little more over the top before baking (we’re huge butter fans in this house) and I put a little cream cheese in the icing. Thanks so much for the great recipe, it’s made Sunday mornings at our house even more special!
