Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Crescent Cookies

Another Pinterest recipe!  These were super simple to make, and apparently very tasty to eat.  I made them for The Well band to have to munch on during their practice on Tuesday night.  Usually there will be leftovers and I'll go grab one for myself when I get there Wednesday afternoon to set up, but when I got there yesterday there was nothing but an empty plate!

I would make these again, but I would make one change - I wouldn't use all of the cream cheese mixture.  I like cream cheese, but I wish there had been a little bit less of it and more crescent role.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Crescent Cookies

Original

Ingredients

1 can seamless crescent rolls

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, room temp

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Unroll the crescent roll. Stretch out the dough into a rectangle. (If you can't find the seamless crescent dough then just make sure you pinch the seams together well.)

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent dough - leave a gap at the edge of about 1/2 inch.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Roll the crescent roll up tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Once chilled - preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Slice the cookie log into about 1/4 inch slices. Bake on prepared sheet for 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool on sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
