- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Coating
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar for topping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, gooey perfection!
Notes
Serve these rolls warm for the best flavor and texture. You can also drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
