Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing any perforations to create a smooth surface.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer in the baking dish.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture, carefully stretching it to cover the filling and sealing any perforations.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent dough.
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to set before slicing into squares.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your Cinnamon Cheese Squares!
