  1. Cream the cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, the salt, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and mix until just combined. Dump the dough out onto a well-floured board and roll it into a ball, divide in half, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to two days.
  2. To make the filling, combine 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar & ½ teaspoon cinnamon, set aside.
  3. On a well-floured board, roll the dough until it is a wide rectangle, 18” by 9”. Spread the dough with the half the jam, sprinkle with half the filling and half the mini chocolate chips leaving a 1” border along the long edge that’s furthest from you.
  4. Press the filling lightly into the dough then brush the 1” border with a thin layer of egg wash.
  5. Starting on the end closest to you, roll the dough into a long tight log, placing it seam side down. transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet. Repeat with the other ball of dough and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375F. and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Brush the logs with a thin layer of egg wash, sprinkle with turbinado sugar and a good amount of sprinkles. Slice into 1½” slices and transfer to the baking sheets, 1” apart. bake for 24 -26 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. or enjoy them warm!
