how to make Warm Cinnamon & Cream Cheese Rolls
Ingredients
1 can of crescent dough or biscuit dough
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 tbsp butter (melted)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cinnamon
¼ cup powdered sugar (for filling)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1-2 tsp milk
Directions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough or biscuit dough and place it flat on a clean surface. If you’re using crescent dough, gently pinch the seams together to create one long rectangle. If you’re using biscuit dough, roll out each biscuit slightly to form a rectangle shape.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat until smooth and creamy. This will be the rich filling for your rolls.

Step 4: Spread the Cream Cheese Filling
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5: Add Cinnamon Sugar
In a separate small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously over the cream cheese filling. The more, the better!

Step 6: Roll & Slice
Carefully roll up the dough starting from one end. If you’re using crescent dough, roll it tightly to ensure it holds together. Slice it into 8-10 equal pieces.

Step 7: Place in Baking Dish
Arrange the rolled slices in your prepared baking dish. For an extra touch, place a bit of butter on top of each roll for a golden, crispy finish.

Step 8: Bake
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overbake. You want them soft in the center with slightly crispy edges.

Step 9: Glaze & Serve
While the rolls are baking, prepare a simple glaze by mixing together 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1-2 teaspoons of milk until smooth. Once the rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
