Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Open the crescent roll dough can and separate the dough into 8 pre-cut triangles.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Melt the unsalted butter in a separate small bowl.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each triangle of dough with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over each buttered triangle of dough.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips at the wide end of each triangle.
Starting from the wide end, gently roll each triangle into a crescent shape, tucking the point underneath to secure.
Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each crescent.
Optional: Lightly brush the tops of the crescents with any remaining melted butter and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon-sugar mixture for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Optional: Dust the cooled crescents with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Crescents!
