Lemon Rolls

Recently I had some items in my pantry that I needed to use up so I turned to my friend The Internet. I found a recipe for some lemon rolls. They were so easy, they were literally prepared in less than 10 minutes, which is a necessity for a busy mom! Don't you love The Internet? So many creative people and ideas!

Ingredients:

1 Pop tube of crescent rolls (I used the "sheet" kind so I didn't have to pinch the seams shut - easy!)

1/4 cup of sugar 

1 block of Cream cheese

Lemon juice

Vanilla

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

Milk

Instructions: 

• Unroll your crescent dough. Pinch the seams shut unless you're using the sheet. 
• Mix the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. You should know I just eyeballed the lemon juice and vanilla, as I wasn't about to unnecessarily dirty extra measuring utensils! (I'd say approximately 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of vanilla.)
• I smeared the mixture all over the dough and then rolled it into a log. 
• I then cut 8 "rolls" from the log and put them into a greased pan where I baked them for 23 minutes at 350 degrees. 
• For the glaze whisk powdered sugar, more lemon juice, and a teaspoon of milk together. You can add a little melted butter if you'd like but I didn't and they were just fine! Just pour the goodness over your rolls after you take them out!
