Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe is from a cookbook that I have containing many restaurant recipes! These are supposed to taste similar to the Cinnabon rolls you can get. I made them just a little different, I didn't add the cream cheese frosting....trying to watch calories and all :) Hope you enjoy them, they really are DELICIOUS!
