Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
Unroll one can (8 ounces) of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring the seams are pinched and sealed to create a flat layer.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll base in the baking dish.
Unroll the second can (8 ounces) of crescent roll dough and lay it on top of the cream cheese filling, pinching seals closed as needed to create a flat top layer.
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it evenly over the top crescent roll dough layer, spreading it carefully to ensure full coverage.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish, about 1 hour. Once cooled, slice into 12 equal bars or smaller squares if desired.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
