2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

Tips:

Use cold butter: This will help the dough stay flaky and prevent it from spreading too much while baking.
Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together, then form it into a ball and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: This will help you get clean, even cuts.
Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown: Overbaking them will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Holiday crescents are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any holiday party. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fillings. So next time you're looking for a holiday treat, give these holiday crescents a try. You won't be disappointed!
