Cut each ball of dough in half, creating 24 portions.
Roll each portion of dough in a 6 inch long "snake". Grasp each end of dough and twist both ends clockwise simultaneously. This will make the dough twist together.
Pinch the ends together and tuck the thinnest part under.
Place at least 1 inch apart in air fryer basket. Brush both sides generously with canola oil.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to puff up for about 15 minutes at room temperature. Prepare the rest of the twists the same way and rest them on a baking sheet, covered in plastic wrap, until ready to bake.
Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl. Air fry the first batch for 7 minutes. Brush with a little bit more oil if they are not brown yet. Flip twists over and air fry an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
While the twists are baking, beat cream cheese and vanilla in a medium bowl on low speed until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and beat on low until combined, adding splashes of milk until a thick drizzly consistency is reached. Set aside.
When the twists are done baking, brush then (or toss in a large bowl) with melted butter. Immediately coat generously with cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately with cream cheese dip.
