25 Days of Cookies: Day 24

Merry Christmas Eve!!! This is my FAVORITE day of the year. In honor of this special occasion, I bring you a gem from my Grandma Sharon’s recipe collection: Bev’s Cream Cheese Bars! Bev was my grandma’s sister and let me tell you, she knew her easy festive recipes. This recipe utilizes the Pillsbury crescent roll dough and could not be any easier to make!
