Cinnamon Swirls

I searched for recipes for using my leftover pizza dough, and I finally created this recipe for a dessert on pizza night.

Cinnamon Swirls
(mini cinnamon rolls)

Ingredients:
Leftover pizza dough (see pizza dough recipe)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Roll out the pizza dough to about 10 inches by 5 inches. (I roll it out on a cookie sheet greased with PAM.)

Brush melted butter on dough.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.  Spread over melted butter on dough.

Roll up the dough from the longest side.  Pinch the dough closed when you get to the end. 

Using dental floss, cut dough into half-inch pieces.  Place pieces into a pie plate greased with PAM. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, or until golden.

Dip into frosting and enjoy!

Frosting
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Combine melted butter and milk into a bowl.  Wisk in powdered sugar until it reaches a thick consistency (or thin if you prefer thin).  Stir in vanilla.
