Preparation Method Steps:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

User Comments: - "These rolls were absolutely delicious! The caramel filling was perfect and the dough was so soft and fluffy." - "I made these for my family and they loved them. They said it is the best cinnamon roll they've ever had." - "I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves caramel and cinnamon rolls."

Special Precautions and Tips: - Be sure to use active dry yeast, not instant yeast. - Let the dough rise in a warm place to ensure optimal yeast activity. - Do not overmix the dough, as this can make the rolls tough. - If you don't have caramel sauce, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and turned a deep amber color.
