Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Separate dough into 8 rectangles. Pat perforations to close. Spread melted butter over dough. Sprinkle each piece with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Roll up from long side; pinch edges to seal. Holding by one end, loosely coil each roll into a circle. Using your fingers, spread out the dough to make room in the middle for filling.
- Place on prepared pan. Top each roll with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon preserves, if using. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Prepare preferred glaze (detailed below) and drizzle over rolls while still warm. Makes 8 rolls.
