Cream Cheese Squares a.k.a. Barbie Bars

• 
  
• 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 
  
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9 x 13 pan.  

Unroll 1 pkg. crescent rolls and lay in the bottom of the pan.  Pinch together the seams of dough.  

In a medium-size bowl, mix together cream cheese, 1 c. sugar, vanilla and egg yolk (keep the egg white for later).  Mix until smooth.  Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the unrolled crescent rolls.

Unroll the 2nd pkg. of crescent rolls and layer on top of the cream cheese mixture.  Pinch together seams of the dough.  

In a small bowl, beat the egg white.  Brush the egg white on top of the bars.  

Mix together cinnamon and sugar.  Sprinkle that on top of the egg whites.  Bake the bars 25-30 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden.

Note~ This recipe I found years ago and I made a few changes to it.  Many people have asked for this recipe.  Very much a crowd pleaser!
