Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Rolls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more for topping)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 package crescent roll dough (8-count)

3 tbsp melted butter

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or a simple glaze

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Make the filling:
In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Prepare the rolls:

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.

Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over each triangle.

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese layer.

 

4. Roll them up:
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip, just like making a crescent roll.

5. Brush with butter:
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with melted butter.
Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top if desired.

6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

7. Cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze.
