CINNAMON ROLL WHOOPIE PIES Full fat version

Bake refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury) as directed on package (at 375F 10-12 min. or at 350F if using a dark baking sheet), placing each roll separately on a baking sheet (not close together as the can directs).

When cool, slice in half horizontally.

Fill with cinnamon cream cheese filling, or a cinnamon buttercream filling.

Drizzle with glaze from the can of dough.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting

 

Ingredients

·         2 cups (4 sticks) butter, slightly softened

·         7 cups powdered sugar

·         1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

·         1 teaspoon vanilla

·         2 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix all ingredients until smooth.  Fill cinnamon rolls (a mini scoop works well).  For one tube of rolls, I found that one quarter of the filling was enough.  Larger rolls might take more.
