Melt the wax using your method of choice. Add Cinnamon scent.
Sprinkle cookie pan heavily with cinnamon. Ladle melted wax onto cookie sheet.
Let cool until the wax has the consistency of very stiff dough. With butter knife, slice the wax lengthwise down the cookie sheet. Each slice should be about three inches wide. Using the edge of the knife lift the first strip and fold it in half lengthwise. Place your wick at one end and begin rolling to make the cinnamon roll. Place aside and allow to cool. Once completely cool, ladle more wax over the top.
