Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-ounce) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In another small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
Unroll the crescent roll dough from the can and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Spread a thin layer (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle, leaving about 1/4 inch of space around the edges.
Starting from the wide end of the triangle, gently roll up each piece of dough toward the pointed tip to form a crescent shape. Place the rolled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush the melted butter over the tops of the crescents, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and slightly puffed.
Allow the crescents to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
