How to make Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

Ingredients

10–12 slices of bread (any kind)

4 ounces of cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons of powdered sugar

½ c of granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

½ c of butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Remove the crusts from the slices of bread. Flatten them using a rolling pin.

Take a bowl and combine softened cream cheese with sugar until it becomes smooth.

Pour melted butter into one dish. In another dish mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Roll them tightly to create roll-ups.

Start by dipping each roll up, in butter, and roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it well.

Arrange the roll-ups, on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until they turn a light golden brown color.

Serve these Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-ups while they are still warm.
