Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle.
Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form crescent rolls.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if using.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature

Notes

Try adding a spoonful of fruit jam under the cream cheese for a fruity twist.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze after baking for added sweetness.
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
