Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons additional granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer. Pinch the seams together if necessary to prevent gaps.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture, again pinching the seams together as needed.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl, then brush it over the top layer of crescent roll dough.
In a separate small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar together, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered crescent roll dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Allow the crescent squares to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
