These delightful gingerbread cinnamon rolls are perfect for cozy mornings, offering warm flavors of spices and a sweet glaze that makes every bite a treat.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until everything is well combined.
Next, melt the butter and mix it with the milk, egg, and molasses. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overwork the dough.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Spread with a bit more butter, sprinkle with sugar, and add a touch more cinnamon. Then, roll it up tightly and cut into equal slices.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, give them a bit of space, and then bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and delightful.
While they’re baking, prepare a simple glaze with powdered sugar and vanilla mixed with a little milk until smooth. Once the rolls are done, drizzle this sweet glaze on top and savor the warm, comforting flavors.
Notes
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
