It's not a single ingredient- rather the combination of them along with just the right amount of yeast that makes them chewey. If you want a few great recipes for cinnamon rolls and some fantastic bread look for a cookbook called the Grand Central Baking Book. Great recipes w/ instruction on how to make their cinnamon rolls.
Overcooking cinnamon rolls and other breads decreases chewiness. Also, they are more likely to be chewy if you place them closer together on the baking pan so that they bake together. Use a pan with sides, too, so the rolls cook up against the sides. Go a little more heavy on the brown sugar and butter to make them chewier, as well. ~L
