(Courtesy of Daphne Oz)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. puff pastry (thawed)
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 sticks butter (room temperature)
1 c. granulated sugar
FROSTING:
4 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. toasted pecans, chopped


Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a mixing bowl, add butter, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract.  Stir until smooth.


Remove puff pastry sheet from package but leave folded in thirds.  Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface to twice its size and about 1/2 inch thick.


Spread 2/3 of butter mixture evenly on the pastry.  Roll puff pastry into a log.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes.


Preheat oven to 375 degrees, cut each log into 2 pieces (these will be the rolls).  Place the rolls on the prepared sheet.  Bake 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.


In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining butter mixture and cream cheese and stir until combined.  Drizzle the warm frosting over cinnamon rolls, topped with pecans and serve.
