- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cinnamon
Coating and Topping:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare oven by heating to 350°F (175°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for even baking.
- Carefully separate crescent roll dough, gently pressing perforated seams to create two seamless rectangular sheets.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant spice blend.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each dough sheet with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture across the buttered dough, distributing the sweet spice evenly from edge to edge.
- Tightly roll each dough sheet into compact cylindrical logs, maintaining consistent tension.
- Slice the rolled logs into 1-inch (2.5 centimeters) bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife for uniform segments.
- Arrange the cut pieces on a lightly greased baking sheet, positioning them cut side down to prevent unraveling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color that indicates perfect doneness.
- While bites are baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth, pourable glaze.
- Once baked, remove cinnamon roll bites from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over warm bites, creating an enticing sweet finish.
