RECIPE: Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls

I had a can of crescent roll dough in my refrigerator that was about to go bad and I decided to experiment and try to create semi-homemade cinnamon rolls. They actually turned out super yummy and are an easy "go to" on a Saturday morning when the family is demanding sugary carbs.

 

CRESCENT ROLL CINNAMON ROLLS

 

1 can CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH

 

1 tbsp BUTTER

 

1/8 cup sugar

 

1 tbsp BROWN SUGAR

 

1-2 tbsp CINNAMON (depending on how much you like cinnamon)

 

STEP 1: Roll out the pastry dough and press seams together. Spread butter on the dough.

 

STEP 2: Mix together sugars and cinnamon. Sprinkle over buttered dough and roll up tight.

 

STEP 3: Cut into 1" slices and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for amount of time on dough package (but keep an eye on them and take them out as soon as the tops are browned).

 

While rolls are cooling, make the icing:

 

1/2 cup POWDERED SUGAR

 

splash of milk or water (about 2 tsp to 1 tbsp)

 

1 tsp CINNAMON

 

STEP 1: Mix together powdered sugar and milk until you get a thick glue consistency, add more liquid if you need to. Mix in cinnamon and a little vanilla extract if you like.

 

STEP 2: Drizzle icing over cinnamon rolls while they are still warm and enjoy!

 

(I have also made these by adding in some broken up walnuts and they were even yummier!)
