Instructions

- Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on each rectangle.
- Add fruit preserves on top of the cream cheese filling if desired.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If you want to experiment with different flavors, try substituting the fruit preserves with chocolate spread or nut butter. You can also use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. Make sure to seal the edges of the dough well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These cheese filled rolls are perfect as a snack or dessert and pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete meal, serve them alongside a fresh salad or a warm bowl of soup. They can also be an excellent addition to a brunch spread, alongside items like Individual Cheese Cakes or Holiday Butter Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheese filled rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but the oven method helps maintain their crispiness.
