Warm Cinnamon Crescent Twists are buttery crescent rolls filled with cinnamon sugar, twisted into shape, and baked until golden. Finished with a light glaze or dusting of powdered sugar, they’re easy to make and irresistibly delicious — like a cinnamon roll in grab-and-go form!

Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Optional glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare filling: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar.
Roll out the dough: Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the surface.
Fold and cut: Fold the dough in half (like a book). Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 8 strips.
Twist the strips: Take each strip and twist it several times, then place on the baking sheet, pressing the ends down slightly so they don’t unravel.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Make the glaze (optional): While the twists bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Drizzle glaze over warm twists or dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm!

Notes

Add a handful of mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts before folding for a fun twist.
These are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
