Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the twists.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together carefully to form one continuous rectangular sheet.
  3. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, mixing well to create the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  4. Brush with Butter: Evenly brush the entire surface of the dough rectangle with 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter to help the cinnamon sugar stick and add richness.
  5. Sprinkle Mixture: Liberally sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the buttered dough to ensure every bite is sweet and flavorful.
  6. Cut and Twist: Slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Take each strip and twist it several times, then place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puff up nicely.
  8. Prepare Glaze (Optional): While the twists bake, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
  9. Drizzle and Serve: Once the cinnamon twists are warm, drizzle the glaze over them and serve immediately for a deliciously sweet finish.

Notes

  • Press crescent dough seams firmly to create a sturdy base for twisting.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount to taste for more or less spice.
  • Serve twists warm for best flavor and texture.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a nice sweet touch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
