Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the melted butter, stirring until combined into a smooth mixture.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforated lines.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto each triangle, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent spilling during baking.
Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly toward the tip to form a crescent shape. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the tips tucked underneath to prevent unrolling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Optionally, dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Simple Cinnamon Crescent Rolls as a cozy treat!
