Gooey Cinnamon Rolls with Creme Cheese Icing

So this is a recipe from Hungry Girl 200 under 200 recipe book.
These yummy delicious treats need to be refrigerated after making and are still super delicious when you pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. I have them with a side of fresh fruit. This morning it was cantaloupe. 
One serving size is 1 iced roll, Makes 8 Servings: 126 Calories, 5g fat, 308mg sodium, 18.5 carbs, <0.5g fiber, 3g proterin, 4 pointsplus (weightwatchers)

Dough

1 package Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough
16 Sprays I can't Believe It's Not Butter

Filling

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup no calorie sweetener granulated
1/2 tbsp light whipped butter or light buttery spread room temperature
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt

Icing

1/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
3 tbsp fat free creme cheese room temperature
1 tbsp no calorie sweetener

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
To make filling, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to make sure the butter gets mixed in evenly. Set aside.
To make icing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth and blended. Place in the fridge to chill and set.
Prepare a dry surface by sprinkling it with a small smount of flour ro prevent sticking. Remove dough from package and knead into a ball.
Using a rolling pin dusted lightly with flour, very firmly roll out dough into a thin sheet about 8 inches by 12 inches. Spray the dough's surface evenly with butter. 
Spread filling out evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. 
Starting with the long side of the dough, roll it up tightly, forming a log. Once dough is completely rolled up, pinch the long seam to seal. 
Turn the log over so that the seam is facing down. Using a very sharp knife, cut log into 8 even pieces, being careful not to squish the dough.
Spray a backing pan with nonstick spray and arrange pieces of dough with the swirl side facing up. Use your hands to firmly press down on the tops of the pieces. Pinch the side seams to seal if necessary.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 8 minutes. 
Remove foil and return pan to oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cinnamon rolls have risen and are slightly browned on top.
Evenly distribute icing over cinnamon rolls and then enjoy.
