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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough from the can and separate it into 8 individual triangles.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Brush the melted butter over the tops of the crescents, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over each one.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and slightly puffed.

Step 9

Allow the crescents to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
