Easy Cheesy Danish

I think this is going to be the easiest cheese danish you will ever make. I colored the cheese part with 10 drops of green food coloring for St Patrick's Day/ Easter, but the food coloring is not necessary.

Ingredients:

2 Cans Pillsbury Grand Juniors -  I used flaky

Filling:

1 8 oz block cream cheese
2/3 C sugar
1 egg yoke (save white for brushing danish)
1 T lemon juice
1 t vanilla
sanding sugar (coarse sugar for decorating)

Glaze:

1 C powdered sugar
1 T milk
1 t vanilla

Heat oven to 400F. spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Mix all filling ingredients until smooth. Take one biscuit and smash it down to about a 4 inch square. Does not have to be perfect. Put 1 teaspoon of filling in center of biscuit. Take opposite corners of biscuit and pinch together. Do again for the other opposite corners. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with all biscuits. Brush tops with egg white and sprinkle about a 1/4 teaspoon of sugar on each. Bake for 10 minutes. While danishes are baking, take a zip lock bag (freezer ones are best as there is less chance of a blow out) and put all glaze ingredients in it. Smoosh together in bag until glaze is smooth. Snip a hole about the size of a pencil tip in one corner. Squeeze glaze onto danishes........eat while warm!!!!
