#307 - Cream Cheese Squares

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 - 8oz. cans refrigerated Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
2 - 8oz. packages softened Philly cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup white sugar
2 TBSP ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unroll one of the cans of crescent dough and press the pieces on the bottom of greased 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan--press the seams between the pieces together to seal them. In a mixer, beat cream cheese, vanilla, egg and 1/2 cup of the sugar on medium speed until well blended. Spread mixture onto crust. Unroll second can of crescent dough onto large sheet of wax paper. Pat out dough to form 13 x 9 x 2" rectangle and press the seams together to seal. Invert this dough over cream cheese mixture to form top crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 min. or until golden brown. Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl and sprinkle over squares before cutting. Keep refrigerated.
