Ready in: 30-60 minutes
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 8
Ingredients:
2 cans (10.1-ounce size) large crescent rolls
1 1/2 package (8-ounce size) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (plus more) powdered sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
1 large egg, separated
1/2 cup large-curd cottage cheese
1 cup drained cranberry sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12x18x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll both tubes of dough; arrange side by side in pan (some of dough may hang over 1 long edge). Press to seal all seams to form 1 large piece and cover pan bottom. Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, and egg yolk in medium bowl to blend. Mix in cottage cheese.
Mix cranberry sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch in small bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
Spread cheese filling lengthwise over left half of dough, leaving 1-inch plain dough border on top, bottom, and left edges. Top cheese with cranberry filling. Using parchment as aid, fold plain dough over, enclosing filling; peel back paper. Seal dough edges. Cut several diagonal slits in top of dough. Beat egg white until frothy; brush over top. Bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Dust with more sugar and cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Judy's Notes: Perfect for the morning after Thanksgiving.
