Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
Add Filling: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture over each triangle of dough. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the cream cheese layer.
Roll the Dough: Roll up each triangle, starting from the wider end, to form a crescent shape.
Add Topping: Brush each roll with melted butter and then sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and a bit more sugar.
Bake: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
