Cream Cheese Squares
Ingredients:
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer the Crescent Rolls:
Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching the dough to cover the entire bottom.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Layers:
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent roll dough.
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and carefully place it over the cream cheese mixture to cover it.
5. Add the Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top layer of crescent rolls.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered top.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
7. Cool and Serve:
Let the cream cheese squares cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
These Cream Cheese Squares are rich, buttery, and a perfect blend of sweet and creamy flavors!
