Mini Cinnamon Treats

An old family favorite, these have been on my mind a lot lately.  Needing to share with a friend, I thought I'd post this here for everyone to enjoy.  Sorry, no pics available, but truly, these are fantastic little tidbits!  Try them....you'll like them!


MINI-CINNIMONS 
(Messy to make, but Great to eat!!)
1 pkg. Cream Cheese, softened
½ c. sugar  
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 egg  
2 sticks margarine, melted
1 ½ c. sugar  
2 tablespoons Cinnamon
16 to 20 slices of white bread, crusts removed 
Foil, torn into approximately 6 12” sheets 
 
In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, ½ c. sugar, vanilla & egg until smooth.  Spread mixture evenly on each bread slice, then roll up like a jelly roll.  Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.  Dip each roll into melted margarine (just to coat, do not soak).  Coat each roll in the sugar mixture.  Place 3 to 4 on a sheet of foil and roll up tightly.  Freeze overnight.
To bake, heat oven to 375˚.  Remove rolls from freezer and slice each one into 4 to 5 pinwheel slices.  Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake 12 minutes.  Turn each roll & bake approximately 7 more minutes until lightly browned.  Best hot and fresh from the oven, but good anytime.
