I am not a creative person when it comes to food. I steal any recipe I can find. One of my favorites is from my friend Lauren of Food is Love She posted this recipe a couple of years ago, but it took me a long time to actually make it. Instead of having to tediously make dough, they're made with crescent rolls! Genius! Lauren put a little disclaimer in her blog post about the rolls that the icing wasn't the best...she was right. So I ventured off to search for a better recipe. I found one on All Recipes that is to die for!
Ingredients for Rolls:
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent dinner rolls melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (I use more than this)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I use more than this)
Directions:
Unroll dough, and separate into 4 rectangles; pinch seams together to make one big rectangle of dough.
Brush melted butter onto dough.
Stir together sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over buttered dough.
Roll up jellyroll fashion, starting with a long side; press edges to seal.
Cut the log into 12 slices and place slices, cut side down, into lightly greased muffin/cupcake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
Ingredients for Icing:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I actually prefer to use about 5 oz of cream cheese)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar (I like to use a little less...maybe 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
