Mini Cinnamon Rolls

Steps

• 1

  Preheat the oven to the temperature listed on the crescent roll package instructions.  
• 2

  Lay the crescent roll dough on a flat surface. Fold the dough in half lengthwise to create a smaller rectangle. Then fold it in half once more, this time width-wise to create an even smaller rectangle. 
• 3

  Roll the dough to a ¼” thickness.  
• 4

  Brush melted butter over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into a log and cut into 8 equal pieces.  
• 5

  Transfer the mini rolls to individual wells in a muffin tin or all-together in a small casserole dish with the cut sides facing up. Spray either baking vessel with baking spray first, then bake according to crescent roll package directions (typically 9-12 minutes).

  While the mini cinnamon rolls are baking, whisk the whipped cream cheese, whole milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Sprinkle in salt and add the powdered sugar ⅓ cup at a time until fully combined.

  *Substitute the whole milk with unsalted butter for more flavor.

  Spread frosting over warm cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

  Pro Tip: Add nuts, caramel sauce, or diced fruit for extra flavor.
