Ingredients
  

8 slices of white or whole wheat bread (crusts removed)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon (for the topping)

Optional: icing for drizzling (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.

    Roll the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened slice.

      Roll Them Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll each slice of bread tightly, making sure the filling is fully enclosed.

        Coat with Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with granulated sugar and the remaining 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Dip each roll-up in the buttery mixture, coating thoroughly.

          Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the roll-ups seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

            Drizzle (Optional): Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly. If desired, drizzle some icing over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.

              Serve and Enjoy: Plate the baked cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of soft bread, sweet cream cheese, and fragrant cinnamon!
