Ingredients
  

  • Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough

Cinnamon sugar mix:

  • 5 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream cheese icing:

  • 2 ounces softened cream cheese
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375.
  • On the stovetop melt your butter and let it cool. Add it to a bowl with the light brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  • Roll out the crescent roll dough and spread the cinnamon sugar mix on top with a spoon.
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter cut the dough in strips then down the middle.
  • Twist two pieces of dough together and bake the twists for 15 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon twists are baking make your cream cheese icing. Using a mixer makes this easier on your arms.
  • Once the twists are done, drizzle the cream cheese icing on top after they've cooled down for a few minutes. Enjoy!
