 Step by Step Instructions for Making Sugar Cookie Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls

 STEP 1: 

To make these sugar cookie stuffed cinnamon rolls, I started by unrolling a sheet of Pillsbury pizza dough onto a floured cutting board.

I used a rolling pin to roll the dough out into an even rectangle.

 STEP 2: 

I placed some softened butter, brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.

I used a fork to cream the ingredients together until well combined.

 STEP 6: 

Then I tightly rolled the dough starting from the short side and placed the roll seam side down once I was finished.

I cut off about one inch of dough from each end of the roll.

Then I used a serrated knife to cut the roll into nine even slices.

I lined a 9 x 9 baking pan with parchment paper and sprayed it with cooking spray.
