  6. Place the croissants onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until golden brown.
  8. **For the Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  9. Once the croissants have slightly cooled, spread the frosting generously over the warm mini croissants.
  10. Enjoy your delightful homemade mini croissants!
