Cinnamon Cream Cheese Rollups are a quick and delicious treat perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. These rollups feature a creamy cinnamon-spiced filling wrapped in tender crescent dough, baked to a golden finish. Easy to prepare and customizable, they offer a delightful combination of warm spices and smooth cream cheese in every bite.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Pillsbury Crescent Dough – 1 package (8 oz)
  • Cream Cheese – 8 oz, softened
  • Granulated Sugar – 1/2 cup (divided)
  • Ground Cinnamon – 2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
  • Butter (optional) – 2 tbsp, melted
  • Powdered Sugar (optional) – for dusting or glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Combine softened cream cheese, half of the granulated sugar (1/4 cup), and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Pinch together any perforations to form a solid sheet, ensuring the filling does not leak during baking.
  3. Spread the Cream Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese filling over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along the edges for easier rolling.
  4. Add the Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the remaining granulated sugar (1/4 cup) with the ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this evenly over the cream cheese layer, creating a sweet cinnamon swirl.
  5. Roll and Slice: Starting from one short edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch thick pieces to form individual rollups.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the rollups on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally brush with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother spread.
  • Seal the dough edges tightly by pinching to prevent filling leakage.
  • Do not overfill to help the rollups bake evenly and hold their shape.
  • Let the rollups cool slightly before serving to set the filling.
  • Enhance appearance and sweetness with a drizzle of icing or powdered sugar dusting.
