Cheat Mode Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
Quick and easy with a delicious pay off. I was really dragging and not motivated the morning I made these. I wanted something but didn't want to put in too much effort. Poking around the fridge I found the Pillsbury Honey Butter Crescent Rolls. They were just asking to be made into something more than ordinary.
Minimal effort and you are a breakfast hero!

Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the crescent roll package, typically around 375°F (190°C).

- Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface.
- Separate the dough into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
- Fill and Roll the Crescent Rolls:
- Spread a generous amount of the prepared filling onto each triangle of dough.
- Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, forming crescent shapes. Be gentle, no need to roll them up tight.
Bake the Rolls:
- Place the rolled crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze:
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Glaze the Rolls:
- Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each roll using a spoon or a piping bag.
Serve and Enjoy:
