Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

 

Rolls;

 

1 package 8 count refrigerated crescent rolls

 

4 oz. cream cheese cold

 

2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

 

1/4 tsp. lemon extract

 

zest of 1/2 lemon

 

Glaze;

 

1 c. powdered sugar

 

1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice

 

zest of 1/2 lemon

 

Instructions:

 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.

 

Beat on medium-high speed until mixture comes together. Unroll crescent roll dough into triangles; spoon cream cheese filling onto wider end of each triangle.

 

Gently roll the dough, starting with the wider end and tucking the corners, into crescent shapes. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment -lined baking sheet.

 

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Let rolls cool on a wire rack. Once cool, prepare glaze by combining all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over rolls.
