Cream Cheese Squares
These easy cream cheese squares are sweet, buttery, and layered with cinnamon sugar. They are perfect for a quick dessert or potluck treat!
Servings: 20 squares
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 16 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls 2 cans
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened, 2 packages
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Combine ¼ cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Unroll one tube of the crescent rolls and press it into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish*.
- In a large bowl beat the cream cheese, ¾ cup of sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer over the dough in the baking dish.
- Unroll the second tube of crescent rolls and lay it over the cream cheese mixture.
- Melt the butter and pour it overtop, using a brush to ensure everything is covered. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar overtop.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bars are set. Allow to cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes and then transfer to the fridge, uncovered, to cool for at least an hour before cutting.
Notes
*A glass baking dish will cook the cream cheese squares more evenly and allow them to crisp up more on the bottom.
