Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls
We got up this morning and wanted cinnamon rolls. I had several cans of crescent rolls and figured there HAD to be a way to make cinnamon rolls using crescent rolls. So off to Google I went. Yes, I realize I go to Google alot. I came across this recipe on Pillsbury.com and just knew I would be making it. Of course as I am making it the girls are going "Ewwww! Grosss" But when it came out of the oven and they started eating, it changed to "Oh man mom, you have to make these again!" They were yummy, and flaky. The cinnamon mix inside was killer, and the icing is just easy peasy. I used store brand crescents and it came out just fine. I also added 1/4 tsp of vanilla to the icing.Ingredients for filling:
2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1.Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan. In small bowl, mix filling ingredients.
2. If using crescent rolls: Unroll 1 can of the dough into 1 large rectangle; press into 13x7-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. Spread filling over rectangle. If using dough sheets: Unroll 1 can of the dough; press into 13x7-inch rectangle. Spread filling over rectangle.
3. If using crescent rolls: Unroll second can of dough; press into 13x7-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal. If using dough sheets: Unroll second can of dough; press into 13x7-inch rectangle.
4. Place over filling; press dough onto filling. Cut stacked dough into 8 (13-inch) strips. Twist each strip 5 or 6 times, pressing extra filling into rolls. Shape each into a coil; place in pan.
