Welcome to Kathleen’s Monthly Cooking Club Challenge 2024!
🎉 November Baking Challenge! 🎉
Here’s what’s baking for this month’s challenge
This November, let’s fill our homes with all the cozy aromas of autumn – cinnamon, freshly baked rolls, and creamy, dreamy cream cheese frosting!
It’s the perfect time to try something new, so take the challenge and bake up these marvelous cinnamon rolls. Trust me, you won’t be sorry!
At The Fresh Cooky, we believe that the best memories are made around the table, where family and friends gather to share stories, laughter, and the simple joy of being together. This isn’t about competition but creating a warm, welcoming community of home cooks and bakers.
The best part, I’ve loads of options for how to make these cinnamon rolls, from small batch, mini cinnamon rolls, to apple cinnamon rolls and peach cobbler, you get the idea! All of them work!
How it Works
The concept is super simple: Each month, I choose a recipe. You make it and leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive the prize. Which is a $100 Amazon Gift Card (or your choice, within reason).
BONUS ENTRIES:
- Snap a photograph* of your recipe using your phone or camera and email it to CookingClub@thefreshcooky.com with November Cooking Club in the subject line. *just of the food, no people, pretty, please!
- Post your photo on Instagram and/or Facebook for another bonus entry, tagging @thefreshcooky and #TheFreshCookyCookingClub. Sometimes, with the algorithm, I miss those, so when you email me, let me know you shared the photo on social, so I can go and look for it!
- 💡 Bonus: Don’t forget, you’ll earn an entry for each recipe you make this month! And if you share pictures of your creations, you’ll score some bonus entries! 📸
The Prize: A $100 Amazon Gift Card!
At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and share some of your photos. We can all use a little extra Amazon cash as the holidays approach! This month, we’re giving away a $100 Amazon gift card. Or gift card of choice (within reason).
November’s Recipe Has Options
Did you know that cinnamon rolls are incredibly versatile? You can easily adapt them to suit your taste and make them uniquely yours!
Start with my famous ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting – the ultimate classic. But if you’re looking for a smaller option, try my Small Batch Cinnamon Rolls (same great recipe, just smaller 😜). And for a crowd, check out my Mini Cinnamon Rolls, perfect two-bite treats that are just as irresistible!
Feeling creative? Add some extra flavor with my Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls, filled with a quick homemade apple pie filling, or Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls with a touch of peach jam – all using that same trusty base recipe!
This month’s BONUS: If (and it’s a big if) you have any leftover cinnamon rolls, turn them into a gooey, mouthwatering Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding. You won’t want to miss it!

What’s Your TWIST?
Here at The Fresh Cooky, I’m all about making recipes your own! How will you tweak cinnamon rolls these to fit your family’s taste?
Cinnamon Roll Variations
- Nutty Cinnamon Rolls: For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds on the filling.
- Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls: Swap part of the cinnamon filling for cocoa powder or sprinkle in chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey twist.
- Spiced Cinnamon Rolls: Experiment with spices by adding a dash of nutmeg, cardamom, or even a hint of clove to the filling.
- Maple Cinnamon Rolls: Drizzle with a warm maple glaze instead of cream cheese frosting for a cozy, breakfast-friendly version.
- Classic Cinnamon Rolls with Regular Sugar: Prefer the subtle sweetness of white sugar over brown? Make the swap and enjoy!
- What will you do??
Show off! Be sure to email me a picture for a bonus entry!
The deadline to enter the November Challenge is 11:59 pm MDT on November 30tj, 2024.

We loved these cinnamon rolls!!! I was a little to quick to ice them and will wait a bit longer as the icing slid off slightly. But no matter, they are delicious. I give these a 5 star rating.

Wahoo!! Thank you so much Carol!
