    This recipe is tooo good! I normally would want to cut down on the butter and sugar but I followed the recipe exactly and am glad I did. YUM! My Husband, Kids, and a friend who is more cooking advanced than me loved it. I have given out the recipe to others and they are now being begged for it. Super Easy to make and everyone loves it! Thank you for posting this Recipe!

    These really are too good. I bound the two sheets together with a little water on my finger tip to form a long rectangle. After I spread the cheese mixture, I rolled the dough up starting at the short end, and then sliced the roll into small "cinnamon roll" like pieces. Made great little cream cheese pastries.

    These were really, really good! After reading other reviews, I made a couple of minor changes: added some raspberry jam to just one side so we could taste it with and without, then decreased the sugar in the cream cheese by 1/4 cup due to addition of the jam. It worked great, and we didn't miss the extra sugar on the plain cream cheese side at all. Both sides were delicious, but the raspberry side was the clear favorite. I didn't add much jam - maybe 1/4 cup - and I popped it in the microwave for 30 seconds first to make it easy to spread on the cream cheese. The only thing that I would change (possibly) would be to use a bit less cream cheese overall since it was a tad gooey, but that's just a preference and it really was great as is. And since we ate it RIGHT out of the oven, it will probably be less gooey after it cools and has a chance to firm up a bit. The bottom line: this is a fantastic and easy dish that is great for hanging out at home or a brunch. Thanks tons for a great recipe!
