Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz; usually 8 rolls)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the cranberry filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped cranberries, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until you get a thick, spreadable mixture.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Unroll the crescent dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the perforations together to seal and create one continuous rectangle.
  • Spread the cranberry cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about ¾ inch around the edges clear.
  • Starting with the short side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends under.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch slices. Place them cut side up on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let the roll ups cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
