COOKIES AND CREAM CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• Unroll pie crusts. Use rolling pin to roll each crust into a rough 12x11-inch rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar evenly over 1 crust, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon on top. Roll up tightly from shorter end into log. Press edge to seal. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with second crust. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Unwrap chilled logs. Use sharp knife to cut each log into 1/2-inch wide slices. Place slices cut side-down 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown and filling begins to bubble. Cool 3 minutes; transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
• In small bowl, stir powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle evenly over cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment. Mix the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk the butter, egg yolks and milk together and combine with the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, about 30 x 25cm.
• Mix the filling ingredients together. Spread evenly over the dough then roll it up lengthways, like a Swiss roll, to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even-sized slices and pack into the prepared tin. Brush gently with extra milk and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before removing from the tin.
• Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the cream cheese and butter in the centre, pour over 2 tbsp boiling water, and stir to mix. Add a little more water until you have a drizzly consistency. Stir in the vanilla essence, then drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm or cold.
