Glazed Cinnamon Biscuits

I love cinnamon rolls... they bring back so many memories from my childhood.  I remember how exciting it was to get up in the morning and smell them cooking- I still get excited!

This recipe is unique because instead of being the sweet dough that you'd find in a bakery (or pillsbury) cinnamon roll, it's a biscuit dough.  Now that I'm more grown up, I really enjoy the taste of this- not too sickly sweet, but very tasty and wonderful!
