1 to 1.5 cups powdered sugar
Beat cheese & margarine until fluffy; mix in vanilla & sugar until smooth.

Preheat oven to 450F. For dough, sift together dry ingredients; cut in shortening
until mixture resembles cornmeal; stir in milk until dough holds together, not too
wet. Lightly knead on floured surface about 30 seconds. Roll dough on Silpat into

Spread filling evenly over dough. Roll up jelly-roll style and pinch seam together.

spread each roll with frosting while still very warm. Serve immediately. 12 rolls.
