### Instructions
1. **Preheat oven** to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Make the filling**: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice (if using) until smooth and creamy.
3. **Assemble the rolls**: Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of cheesecake filling at the wide end of each triangle and roll up toward the tip, enclosing the filling.
4. **Brush and sprinkle**: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crispy finish.
5. **Bake** for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
6. **Cool slightly** and serve warm—or chill and enjoy them as a cool cheesecake-style treat.
