Easy Cheese Danish

This recipe is amazing and easy, sadly it is not also healthy.  I don't make it very often but I do like to surprise my little tater tots with it every so often when they need a little something sweet.  I got the recipe from The Country Cooks blog and I am very thankful!

Ingredients:
For the danishes:

2 tubes Crescent Rolls
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. butter (melted)
8 tbsp. light brown sugar

Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tsp. milk

Preheat oven to 350.  In a medium bowl combine cream cheese with white sugar and vanilla.  Mix until creamy and smooth.  Separate the two cans of dough into 8 rectangles, sealing the seams of 2 triangles to make the rectangles.  Spoon melted butter and brown sugar onto each rectangle.  Roll each rectangle into a long skinny snake of dough.  Then coil the snake making it into a circle.  Squish the dough down in the middle making a little space for the cream cheese filling.  Put a couple tablespoons of cream cheese filling into the center of each dough ball.  Place then on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes.  Mix up the glaze while the danishes are cooking and drizzle it over warm danishes when they come out of the oven. 

I did make these last time without the glaze and I must say they are much better with it so take the time for that last extra step of scrumptiousness.
