Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- ½ cup (113 g / 4 oz) butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g / 7 oz) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) cinnamon
- 1 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml / 0.17 fl oz) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet for optimal baking conditions.
- Dough Preparation: Unroll crescent roll dough, pinching seams together to create two seamless rectangular sheets, ensuring a uniform base for the bites.
- Seasoning and Coating: Blend granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, then brush melted butter across dough surfaces, creating a rich, flavorful foundation.
- Rolling and Cutting: Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over buttered dough, then tightly roll each sheet into compact logs and slice into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
- Baking Process: Position cut pieces on prepared baking sheet with cut sides down, then bake for 12-15 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior that promises delectable crispness.
- Finishing Touch: Craft a smooth glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, then generously drizzle over warm bites to create a delightful, sweet coating that elevates the entire treat.
Notes
- Butter Precision: Use softened butter at room temperature for easier spreading and more even coating across the dough.
- Dough Handling: Gently press crescent roll seams to prevent separation during baking, ensuring a uniform texture.
- Cutting Technique: Use a sharp, clean knife and wipe between cuts to create clean, precise bite-sized pieces without squishing the dough.
- Glaze Consistency: Adjust milk quantity gradually to achieve a smooth, drizzle-perfect glaze that’s neither too thick nor too runny.
