Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Rolls

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 individual triangles.
4. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each triangle.
5. Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly into a crescent shape, enclosing the filling.
6. Brush each roll generously with melted butter, coating all sides.
7. In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each buttered crescent in the mixture until completely coated.
8. Place the coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.

Variations:

• Pumpkin Spice Twist: Replace cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice in the sugar coating for a fall-inspired version.
• Berry Filled: Add a small spoonful of raspberry or strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese before rolling.
• Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts inside the roll for added texture and richness.
• Mini Version: Cut the crescent triangles in half and make bite-sized versions for a party platter or brunch spread.

Tips:

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and spreading.
• For extra crisp edges, place the rolls closer to the oven’s top rack during baking.
• If the sugar coating begins to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil in the last few minutes.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster oven or microwave for a warm treat anytime.
