Sweet Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Delight

Golden, flaky crescent rolls baked with buttery cinnamon-sugar and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar—these Sweet Cinnamon-Sugar Crescent Delights are a quick and irresistible treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or anytime in between.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and gently separate it along the perforated lines into triangles. Lay them flat on your work surface.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each triangle of dough with the melted butter, covering the entire surface.
  • Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered dough. Make sure the mixture reaches the edges for even flavor in every bite.
  • Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly toward the narrow point to form a crescent shape.
  • Place each roll point-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until they’re puffed and golden brown. The sugar should be slightly caramelized on the edges.
  • Let the crescents cool for 2–3 minutes. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for a soft, snowy finish.
