Description

Irresistible cinnamon cream cheese crescent rolls that are as easy to make as they are delightful to eat. Soft, buttery crescents filled with a creamy cinnamon-spiced filling, baked to perfection, and topped with a light glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
1–2 teaspoons milk
Optional: egg wash for brushing

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Carefully unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles. Lay them flat on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using a small spatula, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle tightly toward the tip. Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Optional: Brush the tops with beaten egg for extra golden finish.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
While baking, make the glaze by whisking together 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 teaspoons milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm crescent rolls. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overfill the crescents to prevent bursting while baking. If the dough gets too soft, chill for 5 minutes. Fresh cinnamon makes a big difference in flavor. Adjust glaze consistency with milk as needed.
