Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp heavy cream for extra smoothness
  • Optional toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended).
  5. While the dough chills, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Add heavy cream a tablespoon at a time if needed for spreadability.
  6. Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface or silicone mat into a 12 x 15 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Spread the creamy filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  8. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a tight log and press the seam to seal.
  9. Slice the log into 1-inch thick scrolls using a sharp knife.
  10. Place scrolls cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  12. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm.

Notes

Chilling the dough before rolling helps maintain chewiness and makes rolling easier. Avoid overbaking to keep centers soft. If filling oozes, chill scrolls before baking. Use a silicone mat to prevent sticking without excess flour. Variations include adding cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or swapping fillings.
