Number Of Ingredients 9

GLAZE:
1 package (8-count) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 ounces cream cheese, cold
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Zest 1/2 lemon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Zest 1/2 lemon

Steps:

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°F for 12 to 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.
