Easy Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastries

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.

2. 2

   Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into four rectangles. Press firmly along the triangle perforations to seal. Place rectangles on an un-greased baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper).

3. 3

   Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between the four pieces of dough, spreading it on one half of each rectangle and leaving a thin border around the edges. Arrange strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese mixture, using about 1 1/2 strawberries per pastry (or whatever fits).

4. 4

   Fold dough over the filling so that edges meet, and press along the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush the top of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut three diagonal slits on the top surface of each pastry.

5. 5

   Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until pastries are a deep golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack and cool pastries for 10 minutes before removing with a spatula and serving warm.
