Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each piece of dough starting from the wide end and tuck the ends underneath to prevent filling leakage.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
- Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and dough is cooked through.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
