Tips for Storing

Keep cinnamon rolls in an airtight container either in the refrigerator or on the counter. They will last for about a week in the refrigerator, but only 2-3 days on the counter before becoming dry.

Cinnamon rolls can be frozen and they thaw and reheat beautifully! Freeze cooled cinnamon rolls on a baking sheet and then transfer them to a zippered bag with the date on it. They should keep about a month in the freezer.

To reheat slice them in half, and toast them in a toaster oven. Or Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat for 5-10 minutes in a 350˚F oven.
