Sugar and Cinnamon Roll-ups

By srumbel

I remembered eating these at a shower and put together a recipe of my own. Cissy thought that they tasted like Monkey Bread, and after she took them home, her Mom (my daughter) baked them the next morning.

Ingredients

• 1 1 1 loaf of white bread
• 1 1 1 cup sugar (divided)
• 1 8-ounce 1 8-ounce 8-ounce pkg of cream cheese, softened
• 1 1 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1 1/2 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and placed in a shallow bowl

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the crusts from the bread slices, and then using a rolling pin, roll each piece of bread very flat, and set aside.

With a mixer, cream together the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar, and the vanilla until it is smooth.

Mix together the remaining sugar ( 2/3 cup ) and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

Using about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, spread it on the flattened bread and roll up. Dip each roll-up in the melted butter and then into the sugar/cinnamon mixture.

Place the roll-ups on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!


notes

You can make these ahead and freeze the roll-ups by placing on parchment lined baking sheets, and when frozen, take them out and put in a freeze proof container or plastic food bag. You can bake them from the frozen state, but allow a few extra minutes in the oven.
