Step-by-step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually blend in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.
On the wide end of each triangle, spread about 1 tablespoon of the creamy filling, followed by a teaspoon of cranberry sauce.
Carefully roll each triangle from wide end to pointed tip, sealing the edges as you go.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
