Ingredients
Scale
Dough & Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Icing
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (to reach desired icing consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your cinnamon rolls are prepared.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams firmly together to create one continuous sheet of dough for an even roll.
- Mix filling and spread: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly. Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Roll the dough: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape, maintaining firm pressure to keep it compact.
- Slice the rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled log into 8 equal slices, then arrange them cut-side up in a greased round baking dish or on a baking sheet, spaced slightly apart to allow room for puffing.
- Bake: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Prepare cream cheese icing: While the rolls bake, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk amount to achieve drizzle consistency.
- Serve: After baking, let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the cream cheese icing generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, sweet treat.
Notes
- Pressing seams of crescent dough ensures rolls don’t separate while baking.
- Adjust milk quantity in icing to get your preferred consistency—more for a thinner glaze, less for thick frosting.
- For extra gooey rolls, serve warm right out of the oven.
- If you want to prepare ahead, assemble the rolls and refrigerate before baking to bake fresh later.
- Use light brown sugar for a milder flavor or dark brown sugar for a richer taste.
