Cinnamon Roll Bar Recipe

Really, is there anything that smells better than cinnamon rolls in the oven? Between the baking dough and the buttery cinnamon filling, cinnamon rolls smell divine!

And, of course, they don’t taste so bad either! Since it’s the cookie time of year, I decided to make the next best thing – these Cinnamon Roll Bars. These bars are rich and buttery and full of sweet, cinnamon-y goodness. They are the perfect addition to any cookie tray and make a delicious, easy treat!
