So Simple Cinnamon Crescent Twists
Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 4 tbsp butter, melted salted or unsalted
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar Optional Glaze
- 1-3 tsp cold water
Instructions
-
1.Have a cookie sheet ready with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2.Keep the crescent rolls in the fridge until you are ready to use them. In the meantime mix the sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter in the microwave.
3.Open up the crescent rolls and press seams together to make 4 separate rectangles. On 2 of the rectangles, spread butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Save some for later. Replace the other 2 rectangles over each of them (like a sandwich)
4.From the long side, cut 4 strips of dough in each rectangle pouch to make a total of 8 strips. Take each strip and twist a few times.
5.Lay on the parchment paper spaced a few inches apart. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the twists. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
6.Cool for just a few minutes on a wire rack.
7. If using the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and 1 tsp water until combined. Add more water if needed. Glaze should be slightly runny but not too think. With a spoon gently pour the glaze over the twists (go back and forth) to cover the twists. Enjoy warm from the oven.
