Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Unroll 2 sheets of crescent roll dough onto the prepared sheet pan, pressing seams together to form one large rectangle.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp honey until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Step 6: Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, then cut the roll into 12 equal slices and place them cut side up spaced about 1 inch apart on the sheet pan.
  7. Step 7: In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with 1 tbsp water to make an egg wash; brush generously over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
  8. Step 8: Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Step 9: Remove from oven and let cool slightly; dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving warm.
