How to Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Twists with Cream Cheese Dip Recipe

Ready to roll? ✨ Here’s how to create these cinnamon-swirled wonders:

1. Thaw the dough: Get those dinner roll balls ready. You want them soft and pliable.

5. Air fry: Set the air fryer until they are a beautiful golden brown. The magical moment has arrived!
6. Make the dip: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk until the mix is smooth and dreamy.
