Ingredients

  • 2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough each can is 8 ounces
  • 2 packages of cream cheese 8 ounces each, at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/4 cups of sugar separated
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of melted margarine
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Take one can of crescent roll dough and spread it evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish. Keep the other can aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, spread this mixture over the crescent roll layer in the dish.
  • Open the second can of crescent roll dough and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture, without pressing down.
  • Pour melted margarine over the entire dish. In a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the dish.
  • Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy. Once it has cooled, cut it into 24 squares.
