Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/2 cup melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Lightly grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing any seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the cream cheese layer, gently sealing any seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush the melted butter evenly across the top layer of dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix the remaining 1\/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture generously over the buttered dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 30\u201335 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow the bars to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
