Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) packages of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll one package of crescent roll dough and use it to line the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Stretch the dough to cover the bottom of the pan and pinch together any seams.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the pan.
- Add Second Dough Layer: Unroll the second package of dough and lay it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch any seams to seal.
- Add Topping: Mix together the melted butter, 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over the top layer of dough.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough has puffed up and turned golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator before serving.
