The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Cinnamon Crescent Rolls (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy-to-print recipe card):
Crescent roll dough – you’ll need one package of refrigerated crescent roll dough. There should be 8 individual crescent rolls in the package.
Butter – we used regular salted butter.
Sugar – granulated white sugar is what you’ll need for this recipe.
Ground cinnamon – any variety of ground cinnamon that you like will be perfect.
Powdered sugar – the powdered sugar will be used to make a thin frosting to drizzle over the rolls.
Half-and-half or milk – we used half-and-half for a creamier frosting, but any milk you like will work.
Vanilla extract – the vanilla gives the frosting a nice extra hint of flavor.
How to Make Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
In a small bowl combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
Open the crescent roll package and separate each triangle of dough. Spoon the butter/sugar mixture over one side of each crescent roll triangle, then roll them up starting with the wide and rolling towards the point of the triangle.
Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake the crescent rolls at 375F degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, half-and-half or milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the warm crescent rolls.
Serve the rolls warm.
How to Store Leftover Crescent Rolls
Keep the leftover rolls in an airtight food storage container or zip-top bag. They will stay fresh at room temperature or refrigerated for up to five days.
