Ingredients

ROLLS

  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheets (you can use regular crescent rolls, just pinch the seams together)

FILLING

  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 1/3 cups finely chopped pecans (optional)

GLAZE

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp milk (depending on how thick you like your glaze. I do 2 Tbsps)
  • Dash of Vanilla
  • Pre-heat oven to 375°

Instructions

CINNAMON ROLLS

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375°
  2. Grease either a cookie sheet with sides, or a 9 X 13 pan
  3. Unroll one can of dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Spread/stretch the dough out from all edges a bit so it is slightly bigger.
  4. Repeat with the second can of dough.
  5. In a small bowl mix together the filling ingredients.
  6. Spread half the filling over the first dough, and the other half of the filling over the second dough.
  7. Roll up the first dough from the long edge all the way up.
  8. Cut into 12 pieces (rolls) and place them side by side in half of the sheet/pan.
  9. Repeat with the second can of dough, filling the other half of the sheet/pan.
  10. Bake 20 - 25 minutes

GLAZE

  1. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes.
  2. While the rolls are cooling mix together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Pour the glaze all over the top of the rolls.


ENJOY!
