Original Recipe Yield 8 Rolls
 

Ingredients

  • Rolls:
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations™ refrigerated flaky dough sheet
  • 4 teaspoons preserves or jam
  •  
  • Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons milk, or as needed

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice; beat until smooth.
  2. Crescent Rolls: Unroll dough; separate dough into 8 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Recipe Creations: Unroll dough; cut into 8 rectangles.
  3. Spread each rectangle with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Roll up each, starting at longest side; firmly pinch edges and ends to seal. Gently stretch each roll to about 10 inches.
  4. On ungreased large cookie sheet, coil each roll into a spiral with seam on the inside, tucking end under. Make deep indentation in center of each roll; fill with 1/2 teaspoon preserves.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown. In small bowl, blend all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.

These were good, but I need to bake them longer because the insides were not quite done.
