For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar topping. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and lump-free filling. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent the pan with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. These squares are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, for a unique twist on the classic flavor. Try adding a layer of fruit preserves or a sprinkle of chopped nuts between the cream cheese filling and the top layer of dough for added texture and flavor.
