Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheet.
  2. In small bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest vanilla and egg yolk.
  3. Separate dough into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal.
  4. Spoon about 2 Tbsp of cream cheese mixture lengthwise down center third of each rectangle.
  5. Make cuts 1/2-inch apart on each side of rectangles, just to the edge of filling.
  6. Fold strips of dough at an angle across filling, alternating from side to side to give a braided appearance.
  7. Place on prepared cookie sheet.
  8. Brush with beaten egg white.
  9. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Cool; sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
  11. **Note: Although the recipe did not call for it, I think adding a Tbsp of cherry or blueberry pie filling over the cheese mixture before baking would make this more like a danish. I haven't tried adding the pie filling yet so I hope that it will work out as I imagined it to!
