The original linked recipe from Taste of Home only calls for 1 1/4 cups of water. Use that amount or the dough will be way to wet

I used Spice Cake mix instead (cause it’s all I had 😅) and it came out great!

I think the recipe asks for too much water - my mix was very wet, even after I added extra flour & the middle cinnamon roll did not bake like the others..other than that, they tasted lovely!
