Ingredients

8 oz pkg refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup butter softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

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.
Place each cinnamon crescent roll on the baking and bake for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
While the crescent rolls bake, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ice each of the baked crescent rolls and serve warm.

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.
