Total Time: 27 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat crescent rolls
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 1/2-2 teaspoons skim milk

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees; have a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• 2 keep the tube of crescent rolls in fridge until ready to use and you have all your ingredients ready to go.
• 3 in a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon. set aside.
• 4 melt the butter in microwave safe bowl and set aside.
• 5 now, take the tube out of fridge and roll out on a cutting board. you want to flatten the dough out with your hands to make a rectangle. you don't need to use a rolling pin but you can use one if you want to make the same thickness throughout.
• 6 spread the butter with a pastry brush over the entire dough. save a little butter for when you have rolled up this up after the filling is inches.
• 7 sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture over the butter (a nice coating). save a little for when it's rolled up.
• 8 starting with the shorter end, roll the dough up into a log.
• 9 brush the remaining butter over the outside of the log and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the butter.
• 10 with a sharp knife cut the roll into 8 slices. to do this, start by cutting the roll in half then half again until you have 8 slices.
• 11 place the slices on the baking sheet. you will probably still have extra cinnamon sugar mixture so sprinkle that over the cut slices.
• 12 bake for about 10-12 minutes. turn the pan around after 5 minutes and check after 10 minutes. they should look puffed, light brown and the bottoms will look light to medium brown as well. remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
• 13 to make glaze: in a small bowl blend the powdered sugar with the milk and mix up until you have a glaze consistency. if you have a mini whisk this makes for easier mixing. you can use a spoon or small fork as well. when the rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over each roll.
