24 slices firm white sandwich bread, crust trimmed
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened (not 1/3 less fat)
1 large egg yolk
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla

Roll bread slices flat with a rolling pin. Mix cream cheese, egg yolk and 1/4 cup sugar. Spread about 1 tablespoon on each slice; roll up tightly. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush roll-ups, including ends, with butter. Roll in sugar mixture to coat. Place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate or freeze at least 2 hours. (To store in freezer up to 2 months.)

Heat oven to 400°F.

Bake roll-ups on cookie sheet 9 to 12 minutes until bottoms are glazed and golden brown. Remove immediately to a wire rack to cool. Cut each one diagonally in 3 pieces. Eat warm or cold.

Makes about 72 pieces.

You can use a flavored cream cheese; if you do, omit cinnamon.
