I am lucky if I get a taste of this when I take it somewhere. Everyone grabs a square (or 2) and the next thing I know it is all gone. Connie

Ingredients

• 2 cans (8 oz. each) Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls
• 2 pkgs. (8 oz. each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 tsp. Vanilla

• 13 ×9″ baking pan
• _________________________

Preparation

Step 1

Unroll one of the cans of the Crescent dough and press it onto the bottom of a greased 13×9″ baking pan, to form a bottom crust. Firmly press the seams together to seal.

With a hand mixture, beat the Cream Cheese, Vanilla, Egg and 1/2 cup of the Sugar on medium speed until well blended…Spread it evenly onto the crust.

Unroll the remaining can of Crescent dough onto a large sheet of wax paper. Pat out the dough to form a 13×9″ rectangle, pressing the seams together to seal.

Invert over the Cream Cheese mixture to form a top crust.

Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Combine the remaining 1/2 cup Sugar and Cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle it all over the top. Serve in 2 inch squares.
