Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then scatter the chopped pecans over the cinnamon sugar.
  7. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the long sides.
  8. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
  9. Arrange the slices in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  10. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
  11. Pour the caramel pecan sauce evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra gooeyness, you can add a drizzle of extra caramel sauce after baking.
  • Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best dough texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough once the flour is added.
