Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
- 1 stick salted butter, softened
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Rolls:
- 2 cans crescent rolls
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. - Prepare the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth and well combined. - Unroll the Crescent Rolls:
Open the cans of crescent rolls and lay them out on a clean work surface, keeping the triangles intact. - Spread the Filling:
Spread a scant tablespoon of the cinnamon filling over the dough of each crescent roll. - Roll the Crescents:
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle into a crescent shape and tuck the pointy ends under to create a nice shape. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining rolls. - Bake the Rolls:
Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Expect some filling to escape while baking—this adds to the charm! - Make the Glaze:
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl. If the glaze is too thick, add up to another tablespoon of milk until it reaches a thick yet pourable consistency. - Glaze the Rolls:
Once the rolls are baked, allow them to cool slightly. Dip the tops of each roll into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them glaze-side up onto a wire rack set over a sheet tray to catch drips. - Let the Glaze Set:
Allow the glaze to harden for 15-30 minutes before serving. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Cinnamon Crescent Rolls warm for the best experience, and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet cinnamon and creamy glaze!
