- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the melted butter.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Place the cinnamon biscuits onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
