Chocolate chip cream cheese breakfast cookies



Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies
Makes approx 15 cookies

Ingredients
- 1 can seamless crescent rolls
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

How to Make
1. With your hand mixer, beat sugar, cream cheese and 
    vanilla together until smooth in a medium sized bowl.
2. Unroll the crescent roll sheet. Stretch dough out 
    slightly. It should be in the shape of a rectangle.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the  
    crescent sheet, leaving a gap at the edge about 1/2 
    inch.
4. Sprinkle your chocolate chips on top of cream cheese.
5. Roll the crescent sheet up tightly and wrap in cling wrap.
6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
7. When chilled preheat oven to 350°.
8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent 
    sticking.
9. Slice the crescent roll into 1/4" slices. Bake on prepared  
    cookie sheet for 12 -14 minutes until crescent roll 
    appears golden brown.
10. Transfer to wire rack. 
11. Eat warm or room temperature.


I found this recipe on Pinterest and wanted to try it out. I figured it would be pretty easy.  I have seen several recipes that use the seamless crescent rolls, but I still have not found a store that carries them!  So if you have, please let me know!!! ;) Thanks! 

I rolled out a can of crescent rolls and smooshed all the seams together.

After blending together the sugar, cream cheese and vanilla, I spread it across the top of the crescent roll sheet.  It was a lot of mix, but I just tried to make it even.

Next, I sprinkled some mini chocolate chips on top of that. I didn't measure it and just eyeballed it! 

I also add some Andes mini chips, just for fun! Plus, that is Eric's favorite candy!

I rolled it up as tight as I could, but one of the seams was already starting to rip open. I decided to let it sit in the fridge overnight, because the dough was really soft!

I cut them into small strips to get ready to go into the oven. I ended up having to cook it for around 20 minutes or more, because the crescent roll was not browning up! 

NAILED IT!!!!  LOL!  Eric reminded me of those funny pictures that you see on Pinterest. 
See next picture as example!  

Anyways, the cream cheese made it super melty, but as soon as it cooled, it hardened up a bit! 

LOL!

This time, I cut them a bit thicker.


These turned out much better! 


They are ok, but not my favorite! 
Another Pinterest recipe tried!
