Heat oven to 375�F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. In food processor, place granulated sugar and almonds; process about 30 seconds or until almonds are finely ground. Add cream cheese, vanilla, almond extract and egg yolk; process about 10 seconds or until combined.
On lightly floured surface, unroll dough into 1 large rectangle. With floured rolling pin or fingers, roll or press dough into 12 x 9-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.

Return to oven; bake an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Run knife around edge of muffin cups to loosen; remove rolls from cups and place on wire racks.
In small bowl, blend powdered sugar and water until smooth; drizzle over warm rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in refrigerator. 12 rolls
