Servings: 16
Comments:
This recipe is so fast and easy. I use it all the time for potlucks at work. It is my most requested recipe!


Ingredients:
2-8 oz. packages (16 oz. total) cream cheese, softened
2 packages store-bought refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg, separated
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar


Instructions:
1). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly butter bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan* (see note below about pan sizes).

2). Unroll 1 package of crescent rolls and pat down to seal in bottom of pan. Mix both packages of cream cheese with egg yolk and sugar; add vanilla extract (mixture will be thick). Spread cream cheese mixture on crescent roll in pan. Sprinkle a little flour on cutting board and roll out remaining package of crescent dough to fit pan. Fold dough in half and unroll over top of cream cheese mix. Lightly brush top of crescent roll crust with remaining egg white.

3). Bake at 350 degrees F (180 C) for about 30 minutes or until light brown. Cool. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.

ENJOY!
