8
ounce
package cream cheese,
softened to room temperature
¼

granulated white sugar
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
2
Tablespoons
salted butter,

8

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F) In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese with white sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Separate crescent dough into eight rectangles (there will be two crescent rolls to each rectangle.) Seal perforations.
Using a brush or spoon, spread melted butter all over crescent rolls.
Sprinkle each rectangle with about 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar.
Roll up from long side of the crescent rectangle; pinch edges to seal.
Holding one end, loosely coil each.
Spread out the dough in the middle some to make room for the filling.
Place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Top each coil with about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling.
Bake at 350(F) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
For the glaze, in a bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle over each warm danish.

Notes
It's important that the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature. If it isn't, it will end up lumpy.
Salted or unsalted butter can be used. I prefer salted.
