Print Recipe

These Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Rolls are irresistibly warm, gooey, and buttery treats made with crescent roll dough, sweet cream cheese filling, and a generous cinnamon sugar coating.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

1 (8 oz) block full-fat cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Dough:

1 package (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough

For Coating:

1/4 cup melted real butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Make the cream cheese filling

  • In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. Prepare the crescent dough

  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.

4. Fill and roll

  • Place 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle.

  • Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, making sure the filling stays inside.

5. Coat with butter and cinnamon sugar

  • In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.

  • Brush each roll with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

6. Bake

  • Place coated rolls on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

7. Cool and serve

  • Let the rolls cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a rich and smooth filling.

  • Don’t overfill the dough to avoid leaks during baking.

  • For added flavor, consider mixing mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the cream cheese filling.

  • Want a fall twist? Swap the cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice.

  • To make mini rolls, slice dough triangles in half and use a smaller amount of filling.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
