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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough layer in the baking dish.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Brush the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent dough.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your Cinnamon Cheese Squares!
