(no additional ingredients)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by preheating the oven to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even placement.
- Create a luscious filling by blending softened butter, rich brown sugar, and aromatic ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
- Generously spread the cinnamon mixture across each crescent dough triangle, covering the entire surface.
- Gently roll each crescent from the wide end to the point, ensuring a tight and secure twist.
- Position the rolled crescents seam-side down on the baking sheet, allowing space between each twist.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-11 minutes until the twists transform into a golden-brown delicacy.
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a hint of vanilla extract to create a silky smooth glaze.
- Remove the twists from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the warm cinnamon twists, creating an enticing finish.
- Serve immediately and savor the warm, sweet, and aromatic treat.
Notes
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to add unique flavor dimensions to the traditional cinnamon blend.
- Swap regular crescent rolls for gluten-free versions to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste and texture.
- Toast chopped nuts like pecans or almonds and sprinkle them over the glaze for an extra crunch and nutty flavor profile.
- Use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or honey in the filling for a more natural and complex sweetness compared to brown sugar.
