Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) package Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 rolls)
Filling
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Unroll Dough: Open the package and carefully unroll the crescent rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Spread Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well mixed. Spread this mixture evenly over each crescent roll piece for a rich and flavorful filling.
- Roll and Bake: Tightly roll each crescent from the wide end to the narrow end, then place each roll seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Glaze: While the twists bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and optional vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle and Enjoy: Once the crescent twists have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze evenly over them. Serve warm for the best taste and enjoy your delicious cinnamon treat!
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to add an extra teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the filling.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk.
- These cinnamon twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat briefly in the oven or microwave for a warm, freshly baked experience.
- Use cold butter softened slightly if you prefer a little texture in the filling.
