Ingredients

1 package (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cans (8 ounces each) pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or pillsbury refrigerated crescent dough sheet
4 teaspoon preserves or jam
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 teaspoon milk

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
If using crescent dough, separate dough into 8 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet, cut dough into 8 rectangles. Spread each rectangle with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Roll up each, starting at longest side; firmly pinch edges and ends to seal. Gently stretch each roll to about 10 inches.
On ungreased large cookie sheet, coil each roll into a spiral with seam on the inside, tucking end under. Make deep indentation in center of each roll; fill with 1/2 teaspoon preserves.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until deep golden brown.
In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
