Weekly What’s Cooking Recipe

I believe Mother’s Day requires special treats, and I think it’s always great to make things that the kids can help with. This week’s recipe is easy enough for kids to help make. These can be served for brunch or dessert.

Lemony Cheesecake Crescent Rolls
For the crescent rolls:
2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. lemon extract
4 oz. cream cheese
1 pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls

For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp. + 2 tsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With an electric mixer, mix together the sugar, cream cheese and lemon extract until well combined. Unroll crescent rolls and spoon lemon filling onto the wide end of the triangle then roll the dough starting at the wide end. Tuck in corners so filling stays inside while baking. Place on a greased cookie sheet or one covered in parchment paper. Bake for 13 minutes or until a little golden brown. Cool. Mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice. When cool drizzle lemon glaze over the crescent rolls. Enjoy and Happy Mother’s Day!
