How to Make Cinnamon Crescent Rolls in the Oven

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and fully incorporated. Set aside. 

Step 3: Next, unroll the cold crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and separate each of the 8 triangles. Use a spatula or butter knife to distribute the cinnamon butter filling equally between each crescent roll, spreading to the edges of each triangle.

Step 4: Beginning at the widest point of the triangle, roll each crescent down to the end, ensuring the tip is tucked underneath.

Step 5: Place each cinnamon crescent roll on the baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6: While the crescent rolls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7: Ice each baked crescent roll, serve warm, and enjoy!

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and fully incorporated. Set aside. 
• On a lightly floured surface, unroll the cold crescent dough and separate each of the 8 triangles. Use a spatula or butter knife to distribute the cinnamon butter filling equally between each crescent roll, spreading to edges of each triangle.
• Beginning at the widest point of the triangle, roll each crescent down to the point, making sure the tip is tucked underneath.

• While the crescent rolls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

NOTES

• Crescent dough can quickly become sticky as it reaches room temperature. Using a floured surface prevents it from sticking. 
• Be sure to use softened butter so the filling is smooth. 
• Ovens can vary so change the bake time as necessary, and check your crescent rolls early in the baking time.
