One can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (often yields eight rolls).
Softened 8 ounces of cream cheese
Half a cup of sugar
Flavor vanilla One teaspoon of extract
Half a cup of chopped pecans
Two teaspoons of melted butter
One teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Powdered Optimal use of sugar: dusting
Instructions:
Start by preheating the oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Cream together the sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese in a bowl to make the filling.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into triangles to make the dough.
Before filling, generously spread the cream cheese mixture over each dough triangle. After the cream cheese layer is in place, top it with chopped pecans.
To roll the dough into a crescent shape, begin at the wide end of each triangle and work your way up.
Garnish with Melted Butter: After brushing each roll with melted butter, sprinkle with a combination of cinnamon and a touch of sugar.
Before baking, lay out parchment paper-lined baking sheets and add the rolls. To get a golden brown color, bake in a preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Toss with powdered sugar just before serving, if desired.
