Ingredients
Scale
1 (8-roll) package crescent roll dough
8 tablespoons cream cheese
8 heaping teaspoons cranberry sauce
8 small pinches of fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven temperature to 375°F. For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and divide into 8 triangles. Arrange evenly on the baking sheet.
- Add Filling: Spoon 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto the widest part of each triangle. Add a heaping teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top, then sprinkle with thyme if desired.
- Roll Them Up: Begin at the wide end and carefully roll each triangle into a crescent form. Keep the filling tucked in to prevent leakage.
- Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Allow to cool slightly and serve while still warm for the best experience.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and don’t overfill the dough. Optional: drizzle with powdered sugar glaze for a sweet finish.
