Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
  • Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a small baking dish or muffin tin.
  • Prepare the Dough:
  • Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to form one rectangle. Flip it over and gently press again to ensure it’s sealed.

  • Starting from the shorter side, gently roll the dough into a log. Slice into 8 even pieces.
  • Bake:
  • Place rolls into the prepared dish or muffin tin. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Make the Glaze:
  • While the rolls bake, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add more milk if needed for drizzling consistency.
  • Drizzle & Serve:
  • Let cinnamon rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze and serve warm.
