With a buttery crescent roll base, a luscious cream cheese filling, and a burst of cranberry flavor, these crescent bites are sure to be the talk of the table.
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cranberry sauce or whole cranberries
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. First, in a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Next, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle, then top it with a spoonful of cranberry sauce or a few whole cranberries. Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and working your way to the tip.
4. Arrange the crescent bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and delightfully flaky. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t over-brown.
5. Once the Cranberry Cream Cheese Crescent Bites are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving.
