Let’s dive into the fun part — making these delicious rolls! Follow these steps to bring a bit of my kitchen into yours.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, stirring until well mixed.
4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles on your prepared baking sheet.
5. Spread about a tablespoon of the pumpkin mixture onto each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pumpkin filling.
7. Gently roll up each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, enclosing the filling.
8. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
9. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the buttered rolls.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

As you bake, the house fills with a sweet and spicy aroma that’s reminiscent of the festive season. It’s these simple pleasures that make cooking a cherished ritual in my life.
