Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 can crescent roll dough sheet
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F degrees. Spray 6 sections of a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll sheet onto a clean kitchen work surface. Brush it with the melted butter.

3. 3

   Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the Filling: Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the top of the dough (yes, it’s a lot. yes, use it all.)

5. 5

   Roll and Slice: The crescent roll sheet is a large rectangle, with the shorter side facing you; roll it up tightly into a roll. Slice into six even pieces with a serrated knife or sharp knife.

6. 6

   Fill the Muffin Tin: Place each roll cut side into each section of the prepared muffin tin.

7. 7

   Bake the Rolls: Bake for 11-15 minutes in a preheated oven or until rolls are golden brown. Place the muffin tin on a wire rack and let cool slightly.

8. 8

   Whip the Cream Cheese: While the rolls are cooling, make the cream cheese icing by placing the softened cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl and whip until smooth with a hand mixer.

9. 9

   Add Powdered Sugar: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla mix to combine.

10. 10

    Add the butter and mix to combine until smooth.

11. 11

    Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. The glaze should be thick but pourable.

12. 12

    Glaze and Serve: Take the rolls from the muffin tin, glaze the warm rolls, and serve immediately.
