  • Step 7: Roll up from long side; pinch edges to seal.

  • Step 8: Holding one end, loosely coil each.

  • Step 9: Spread out the dough in the middle some to make room for the filling.

  • Step 10: Place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.

  • Step 11: Top each coil with about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling.

  • Step 12: Bake at 350(F) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
