Ingredients

For the Rolls

2 frozen puff pastry sheets that has thawed out in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

3 tbsp melted butter

⅔ cup light brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Icing

4 tbsp salted butter room temp

1 cup confectioner's sugar sifted

1-2 tbsp milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp chai spice

⅛ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

For the Rolls

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Lightly flour your surface and roll out one sheet of puff pastry until about 1/4 inch thick (leave the other sheet in the refrigerator).

Brush puff pastry with melted butter, leaving 1 inch of space around the edges. Evenly sprinkle puff pastry with half of brown sugar, and cinnamon just over buttered area.

Tightly but gently roll the dough up. Use a little melted butter on the open edge of the roll to seal the seam.

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into six pieces. Place each roll inside a parchment paper lined baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator as you repeat the above steps with the last sheet of puff pastry.

Bake the cinnamon rolls in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden (watch carefully!).

For the Icing

While rolls are baking, make the icing. Beat butter until fluffy. Once fluffy continue to beat while gradually adding the powdered sugar, then add milk and vanilla, chai spice and cinnamon. Increase amount of spice, or sugar until desired consistency and flavor are reached.

Then place in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until it melts down and is pourable. Drizzle over cinnamon rolls when they are fresh out of the oven.
