Cream Cheese Squares

Everyone loves these. They are sweet enough with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. It is the kind of dessert recipe that you can just whip up in no time and they are so so so easy! I have used both Philiadelphia brand cream cheese and store-brand cream cheese for these and they both taste the same but I have noticed that Philiadelphia cream cheese blends more smoothly.

Cream Cheese Squares

2 - 8 ounce cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 13" pan. Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread over the crescent layer. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down. Pour the melted margarine over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.
