Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a flat surface. Separate the dough into 8 individual triangles.
Step 3: Add the Filling
Spread a small amount of softened cream cheese (if using) onto each triangle of dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of cranberry sauce onto the wider end of each triangle. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest over the cranberry sauce for added flavor.

Step 4: Roll the Crescent Rolls
Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle up towards the narrow end, forming a crescent shape.
Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Step 5: Bake the Rolls
Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Make the Optional Glaze
While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time.
