Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
-
Unroll crescent roll dough, and use a rolling pin to shape each sheet into a 9x13-inch rectangle. Press one piece into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread cream cheese mixture on top, then cover with remaining piece of crescent dough.
-
Mash remaining 3/4 cup sugar, butter, and cinnamon with a fork until combined. Dot mixture over top of dough.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until crescent dough has puffed and turned golden brown, about 30 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Cool completely in the pan for about 2 hours before cutting into 12 squares. Melissa Goff
