Hostess Gift: DIY Cinnamon Roll Kit

Every November, our family makes a huge batch of cinnamon rolls and delivers them to neighbors to freeze for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning. But this year, we’re shaking things up a bit. Because these DIY Cinnamon Roll Kits are TOO much goodness, lovely for holiday gifts or hostess gifts alike. With easy to print labels to boot! PS…more hostess and holiday kit ideas below.

INGREDIENTS

8” iron skillet
Pretty dishtowel
Dough ingredients: ⅓ cup sugar + 3- 3 ½ cups flour + ¾ tsp salt
Yeast ingredients: ½ tsp sugar + 1 tsp yeast
Filling ingredients: ½ cup sugar + ¼ cup brown sugar + 2 tbs cinnamon + 6 tbs melted butter
Frosting ingredients: 4oz cream cheese + ½ lb powdered sugar + 4 tbs butter + ½ tsp cinnamon + 1 tbs vanilla extract
Weck jars large enough for yeast, filling, & frosting
White paper lunch sack
Black and white chevron ribbon
Cinnamon roll labels
Cinnamon roll instruction tags
White cardstock
Full sheet label paper
Scissors
Hole punch

INSTRUCTIONS


1: Print out the cinnamon roll instructions on white cardstock and cut out out along gray outlines. Punch a hole over the circle outline. Tie onto the handle of the skillet with a bit of chevron ribbon.
2: Print the cinnamon roll labels onto the full sheet label paper, and cut out each circle along the gray outline. Place a label on each weck jar and one on the paper sack.
3: Loosely mix the dough ingredients in a large bowl, then use a funnel to pour into the paper sack. In a medium bowl, mix the frosting ingredients with an electric mixer, then scoop into the “frosting” jar. In a small bowl, mix the filling ingredients with an electric mixer, then pour into the “filling” jar. Fill the “yeast” jar with yeast and sugar.
4: Tuck the dishtowel into the skillet, then add the ingredient jars and dough bag.
