Description

These Warm Cinnamon Crescent Twists are irresistibly buttery, flaky, and filled with a rich cinnamon-sugar blend. Finished with a sweet vanilla glaze, they’re perfect for cozy mornings or an after-dinner treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Crescent Rolls:
    • 1 (8-ounce) package Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 rolls)

    For the Filling:

    • 1/4 cup butter, softened
    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    For the Glaze:

    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 12 tablespoons milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll Dough: Lay out crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread Filling: In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture evenly across each crescent roll.
  • Roll and Bake: Roll each crescent tightly, placing them seam-side down. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Make Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
  • Drizzle and Enjoy: Allow the twists to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

These cinnamon twists are a quick and easy breakfast or dessert option! Feel free to adjust the glaze’s consistency by adding more or less milk. For an extra indulgent treat, top with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon sugar before baking.
