  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Second Dough Layer: Unroll the second package of dough and lay it over the cream cheese layer. Pinch any seams to seal.
  5. Add Topping: Mix together the melted butter, 1/4 cup of sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over the top layer of dough.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent dough has puffed up and turned golden brown.
  7. 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.
