  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Soft goat cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Cranberry sauce homemade or canned

  • Take crescent rolls out of the tube and carefully unroll them onto a large piece of parchment paper. Pinch together any seams that have separated.
  • Place another large piece of parchment on top of the crescent rolls and with a rolling pin roll into a rectangle about 10x16 inches.
  • Carefully remove the top layer of parchment, then cut the crescent rolls into 24 small squares.  (A pizza cutter makes this easy)
