You are going to love these crispy, restaurant-style Cream Cheese Wontons. The cream cheese filling is stuffed into wonton wrappers and then fried for a delicious recipe. Easy 20-minute appetizer that everyone will love!
Place the cream cheese, powdered sugar, onion powder, salt and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Preheat approximately 4 inches of oil in a large pan over medium high heat until the oil reaches 325 degrees F.
Then assemble the rangoons by placing approximately 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Dab the edges of each wrapper with a small amount of water. Fold up each opposite corner of the wrappers to the center and pinch all the corners together to form a square. Continue this process until all the wrappers and cream cheese mixture are used.
Drop the wontons into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn them as needed to make sure they are evenly browned. Fry in batches so you do not crowd the pan. I usually fry 5-6 at a time.
Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Continue this process until all the rangoons are fried.
Serve while warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy.

Notes
In order to bake the Cream Cheese Wontons instead of frying, bake it at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until they are lightly browned. Make sure to watch the oil while frying and monitor the temperature, if the oil gets over 370 degrees F, the wonton wrapper will likely burn. Make sure to securely pinch together the corners of the wonton papers so they do not come apart while cooking.
