1 (8 oz) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough sheets
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
Optional: 1 tablespoon orange zest
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough sheet onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing any perforations to seal.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Dollop the cranberry sauce over the cream cheese layer. Gently swirl the two together with a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges of the crescent dough are a deep golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
