Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then coat it with nonstick spray.
Step 3 -Unroll both cans of the crescent roll dough and separate them into 8 rectangles total. Use your fingers to smooth together the perforated lines across each of the rectangles.
Step 4 -Starting at one of the long sides, roll each of the rectangles up.
Step 5 -Shape the crescent sticks into rounds, then pinch the ends together to form a circle.
Step 6 -Use your fingers to gently form the center of the crescent mounds into shallow cups, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7 -In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, the granulated sugar, the flour, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and mix until it is smooth.
Step 8 -Evenly spoon the cream cheese mixture into the centers of each of the crescent mounds.
Step 9 -Bake the filled crescents on the center rack until they are golden-brown, about 15-18 minutes.
Step 10 -Transfer the baking sheet from the oven and evenly top the filled crescents with the cherry pie filling.
Step 11 -Bake the cherry crescents again, about 1 minute.
Step 12 -In a medium bowl, add the confectioners' sugar, the milk, and the remaining vanilla and slowly whisk until it is smooth.
Step 13 -Evenly drizzle the glaze over the cherry crescents.
Step 14 -Serve.
