This morning, my boys asked for cinnamon rolls, but we didn’t have any thawed or ready to make. But I did have the ingredients to make some (semi)- homemade ones. 

You will need:

For CINNAMON ROLLS:

• one can of crescent sheet or rolls 
• cinnamon sugar mix (see below)I used about 1.5-2tbsp total 
• 1 TBSP melted butter

For ICING: 

• 1.5 cups powdered sugar 
• 1.5 TBSP milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• 4 Tbsp melted butter 

For Cinnamon Sugar Mix:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 TBSP ground cinnamon 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray.
3. Roll out the crescent dough. If using rolls, press the seams to seal them.
4. Use ONE TBSP of the melted butter and brush on the crescent dough. 
5. Sprinkle with 1.5-2 TBSP of the cinnamon sugar mix. 
6. Roll up the crescent dough tightly. Pressing seam at the end.
7. Cut into slices. I cut mine into 12, but you can make them as thick or thin as you want.
8. Place slices in baking dish. 
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until light golden on top.
10. While baking make the homemade icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and stirring well. You can add a dash more of milk if you need it to be a little thinner.
11. Once the cinnamon rolls are done, spread the icing mixture over the top.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!!!

*TIP- I keep the cinnamon sugar mix in a spice container. We use it for cinnamon toast and more!
