cinnamon rolls much needed advice

Ok I've been trying my hand at cinnamon rolls
I do loaves of bread all the time so I tried to make
The cinnamon rolls ok I'm not sure how much
Cinnamon & sugar to use and they didn't rise very well
And when I took them out of the oven all the stuff had
Ran out and they were hard they were unbeatable
My husband said oh come on they can't be that bad
But yes they were I think I'm a pretty good cook but
Those rolls made me think I was a flop please any advice
