Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 8-count refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing included)
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for added flavor
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional, for brushing
  • Extra cinnamon sugar optional, for coating

Equipment

  • Baking sheet 
  • Parchment paper or non-stick spray 
  • Mixing bowl 
  • Hand mixer or whisk 
  • Spoon or spatula 
  • Knife or dough cutter 
  • Small bowl (for mixing filling)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. For extra cinnamon flavor, you can add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon here.
  3. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate the dough.
  4. Flatten each roll slightly using your hands or a rolling pin to create a small square or circle.
  5. Add about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each.
  6. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal and form small pockets.
  7. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mix for extra flavor and crunch.
  8. Place the filled dough bites on your baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let them cool on a rack for a few minutes. Warm the included icing (from the cinnamon roll can) and either drizzle it over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
