Ingredients
Scale
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Press the crescent roll dough into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cream cheese is set.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a touch of almond extract to the cream cheese filling.
Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
These bars are best served chilled or at room temperature.
