The Best Cinnamon Rolls or Cinnamon Knots - this was given to me by Grandma Jewell Myers

these are the cinnamon rolls she would tie in knots, they are so delicious!
you can also roll this out like a regular recipe if you prefer but the cinnamon knots are really unique and taste wonderful for a great Dessert!
I remember helping Grandma make these cinnamon knots several times and
oh the smell in house when these were baking! These are excellent for the Holidays!
