They borrow the shape from crescent rolls and have the delicious sweetened cinnamon flavor of a cinnamon roll. The recipe is entirely made from scratch, so you know exactly what the ingredients are. Oh, we almost forgot: there&#8217;s an icing drizzle, too. Delicious, any time of the day.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>All-purpose flour: <\/b>No particular flour variety is needed for these rolls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Active dry yeast:<\/strong> Yeast is required for the dough to rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar feeds the yeast and helps it grow, increasing the dough. It also makes its way into the sweet filling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter helps make the dough more tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaporated milk:<\/strong> Evaporated milk makes the rolls more rich and creamy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortening:<\/strong> Shortening helps the rolls have a slightly flaky texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg yolks:<\/strong> Yolk helps the rolls achieve their puffy, light consistency and makes the dough more pliable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon and butter: <\/strong>This tasty duo pairs with sugar to make a delicious spread that melts into the rolls as they bake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar, milk, vanilla extract, sugar and cinnamon:<\/strong> The sugars, milk and vanilla extract mix into a tasty glaze, while the sugar and cinnamon create a delicious sprinkle topping that adds flavor to the outside of the roll.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-5-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies dough\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour with the yeast, sugar and salt. In a large saucepan, heat the butter, milk, shortening and water to 120\u00b0to 130\u00b0F. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and beat just until moistened. Add the egg yolks and beat the mixture until it&#8217;s smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. It will be sticky at this point.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Knead the dough and let it rest<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-8-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies dough\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it until it&#8217;s smooth and elastic, for about six to eight minutes. Place it in a greased bowl, turning it over once to grease the other side. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until its size doubles or about one hour. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set this bowl aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Shape the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-7-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies sliced\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Punch the dough down. Place it on a lightly floured surface and knead it about six times. Divide the dough into four portions. Roll out one portion into a 12 inch circle and spread 2 tablespoons butter on it, then sprinkle on 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar. Cut it into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge from the wide end and place the rolls point-side down, 3 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Curve the ends to form crescents.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Make more dough crescents<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-9-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Rolling crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Repeat the process with the remaining dough, butter and cinnamon-sugar.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over the rolls, including the glazed areas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-3-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies cooling\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recipe Variations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add mini chocolate chips:<\/strong> Sprinkle miniature chocolate chips over the dough before you roll it into crescents for wonderful pops of chocolate flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make an apple cider cream cheese icing:<\/strong> Mix cream cheese and butter, then add reduced apple cider for a delicious topping that&#8217;s hard to beat.

Place the container in the refrigerator to store them a day or two longer, then reheat for a few seconds in the microwave to soften them up again.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you freeze crescent roll cinnamon rolls?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, keep the rolls in the freezer for up to three months by storing them in a zippered freezer bag. If they&#8217;re already iced, set them on a cookie sheet and freeze them for an hour or two to let the icing harden before transferring them to a freezer bag.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crescent-Roll-Cinnamon-Cookies_TOHD24_39392_NicolePerry-4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crescent Roll Cinnamon Cookies on a platter\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is evaporated milk?<\/h3>\n<p>Evaporated milk is regular milk that has been heated a bit to reduce most of the liquid. It&#8217;s then canned and sterilized. It has a long shelf life in making it a good ingredient to have on hand. Diluted, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitutes-for-evaporated-milk\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/substitutes-for-evaporated-milk\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">evaporated milk<\/a> can be used like milk in a recipe or use it undiluted to stand in for half-and-half or regular cream.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make these into traditional cinnamon roll shapes instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes the shape is entirely up to you. To make cinnamon rolls with the spiral in the center, roll the dough out into a flat rectangle, add the butter, cinnamon and sugar mixture, then roll the dough up into a log; you should see the cinnamon swirl on one end. Here&#8217;s a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-cinnamon-rolls\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-cinnamon-rolls\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cinnamon roll recipe<\/a> that offers details (and a cream-cheese icing).<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use regular sugar instead of confectioners&#8217; sugar for the icing?<\/h3>\n<p>Confectioners&#8217; sugar is required to make this type of a glaze or icing; its fine texture dissolves easily at room temperature, whereas standard table sugar remains in crystalline form. Regular sugar stays too grainy for this glaze. The lovely part about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confectioners-sugar-glaze\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confectioners-sugar-glaze\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">confectioners&#8217; sugar glaze <\/a>is it can be tinted or easily flavored to ice all sorts of cookies and treats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always whip up a batch of these flaky, drizzled crescents to take to family gatherings at Christmastime.
