Food Processor. Add the
flour, salt, cinnamon, sugar and zest and process for 10
seconds to sift. Add the butter and cream cheese evenly
and pulse to combine. Add the sour cream and pulse to
combine. The dough should be slightly crumbly; be
careful not to overmix. Divide dough into 4 equal
pieces, wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator.
Once dough has chilled for about 30 minutes, roll each
piece out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle

sprinkle with ¼ of the filling. Roll the rectangle up in a
jellyroll fashion, brush with cream and sprinkle with
cinnamon sugar. Slightly chill. Repeat with the
remaining dough. Cut each roll into 12 pieces
approximately ½-inch thick and space evenly on the
prepared baking sheets.
Bake in oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until just golden
