  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Adam's vanilla extract

For the filling

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar coconut sugar will work too

  1. In a stand mixer, mix cream cheese and butter together until creamy and light.

  4. For filling: Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  6. Once dough is chilled, divide into 4 sections.

  7. Roll each section into a 9 inch circle. Cut into triangular wedges (like you would a pizza).

  8. Spread each triangle with jam and top with a sprinkle of the pecan mixture. Roll up like a crescent roll, seam side down and place on a silpat lined cookie sheet.

  9. Bake in oven 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned. Jam will ooze out a little, this is normal. Cool completely and serve.

  10. P.S. You can freeze these for up to 2 months. Just wrap in parchment and place in sealed container.
