Puff Pastry Cinnamon Rolls

Since cinnamon rolls are always a welcome treat around here and I don't always have the time to put into them, this little recipe was perfect. It didn't make a lot....only 12...but that's okay. They lasted a couple of days and were great reheated. Fast and easy....and a really yummy treat!
