Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1.5 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the white granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly, then set aside.
Step 3
Unroll one can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Pinch any seams together.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 5
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust in the pan.
Step 6
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch any seams together to create a smooth top layer.
Step 7
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top crescent roll layer. Then sprinkle the entire cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the butter is bubbling around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours (this step helps the bars set properly).
Step 10
Cut the chilled bars into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
