16

pre-made pizza dough
I bought mine at Publix in the bakery
1
cup
packed brown sugar
2-1/2
Tablespoons
ground cinnamon
4
Tablespoons
butter
softened
1/4 to 1/2
cup
chopped pecans
Cream Cheese Frosting
8

1/2
cup
butter
softened
2
cups
powdered sugar
1
teaspoon

1-2

Instructions
Cinnamon Roll
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle onto a lightly floured work surface.
Spread the softened butter onto the dough, spreading it to the edges.
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped pecans (depending on how many pecans you'd like) in a medium-sized bowl.
Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the dough, spreading it to the edges.
Roll up and cut into pieces, about three-inches each.
Place in a greased 8-inch by 8-inch casserole dish, pressed up next to each other.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cream Cheese Frosting
For the frosting, add the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract to a bowl. Mix well.
Next, add the powdered sugar and mix until well blended.
Add the heavy cream and mix well.
Spread over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Sprinkle the remainder of the chopped pecans on top.

Notes
If the frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
