Strawberry Cream Cheese Dough Knots Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)

1/4

cup cream cheese spread

1/2

cup freeze-dried strawberry slices

1

tablespoon butter, melted

1/2

cup powdered sugar

2

teaspoons hot water

Assorted colored sprinkles

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough into 1 large rectangle. Firmly press perforations to seal. Shape into 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 8 strips (1 1/2x8 inches each). Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons cream cheese down center of each strip.

Top cream cheese with strawberry slices. (Break larger strawberry slices in half to fit on dough.) Fold dough over lengthwise to encase filling; press edge to seal in filling, forming each strip into long filled rope. Tie rope of dough into knot; place on large ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining 7 strips of dough. Brush knots with melted butter.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and hot water until smooth. Spread over each warm knot; top immediately with sprinkles. Serve warm.
