Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper enough to cover the surface
Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll dough package
Unwrap and unroll crescent sheets into their triangles, set aside
In your food processor, add your full block of cream cheese, softened to room temp along with half the can of your cranberry sauce
Reserve the remaining sauce for dipping or garnish if you would like
Combine until it's fully incorporated and a thick consistency
Spoon in about 1 tsp or enough filling to fill the crescent
Roll your crescents up and place them in the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the strength of your oven
Once baked, place on a wire rack to cool completely
Garnish with icing sugar, cranberry sauce, caramel, or anything else you like!
Serve cold & enjoy!

Notes

The best part about this recipe is that it's made with delicious and fluffy Pillsbury dough that you know will be amazing in the oven every time. Store in the fridge and they're good for about 1 week!
