WHAT KIND OF CINNAMON ROLLS SHOULD I USE?

I like to use the large Pillsbury Grands style cinnamon rolls as they are easier to pull apart the layers. However, you can also use the small cinnamon rolls that come 8 in a can.

CAN I JUST SPREAD THE FROSTING INSTEAD OF DRIZZLING IT?

Yes, though I have found that heating the frosting and drizzling it instead of spreading that you can get the frosting distributed more evenly in a thin sweet layer.
