Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup powdered sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
3. Roll the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a rectangular shape.
4. Add the Topping: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture all over the top.
5. Cut and Twist: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip several times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake: Pop the twists into the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up.
7. Optional Glaze: While the twists are cooling, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle this delightful glaze over the top of the cooled twists.
8. Serve and Enjoy: These Crescent Roll Cinnamon Twists are best enjoyed warm, paired with a steaming cup of coffee or as a sweet snack any time of day.
Notes
To ensure your Crescent Roll Cinnamon Twists turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
– Avoid Overtwisting: While twisting the dough strips is essential for achieving that beautiful shape, be careful not to overdo it, as this can cause the dough to tear.
– Achieve an Even Bake: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time to ensure your twists brown evenly.
– Reheat with Care: If you have leftovers, you can reheat the twists in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy texture, or use the microwave in short bursts to avoid drying them out.
– Experiment with Fillings: For an extra indulgent twist, try filling the dough with cream cheese, Nutella, or your favorite fruit preserves before twisting and baking.
