Oh So Easy Crescent Cinnamon Rolls

Pillsbury Simply Super Crescent Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls - ooey gooey cinnamony goodness, right?  But they take so long to make from scratch and who wants to knead and roll out dough??  You just want to enjoy the deliciousness, right?!

I found this easy recipe on Pillsbury.com and HAD to try it!  But now I'm sitting here and they are all I can think about, but I've already had one...okay two (hanging head in shame).  These are really yummy and ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish and you won't have a big mess to clean up either! And with all the time you save you can do an extra hour on the treadmill
(sure! that's what I'm gonna do...)

I changed up the recipe just a tad because I like a little less filling...

Filling

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans (I chopped them in my blender)

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons butter, softened

Rolls

2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Glaze

1 cup confectioner's sugar

1 tablespoon butter, softened

2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 370 degrees F. Spray a 13x9" pan with cooking spray. Mix all filling ingredients in a small bowl. Unroll 1 can of dough into a large rectangle (I did this on a cookie sheet for cutting purposes and it made clean up easier too). The rectangle should measure about 13x7". Be sure to press all the perforations together tightly to form one big sheet of dough. Spread filling over the rectangle. Then roll out the 2nd can of rolls and shape into a 13x7" rectangle. Firmly press all the perforations together to seal and place this on top of the filling. Press down firmly. Cut stacked dough into 8 (13" long strips). Twist each strip 5 or 6 times and roll into a coil shape. Place in pan. If any of the filling escapes you can just press it back in. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. (Mine were done in 20). Remove from pan immediately and place on wire rack to cool. For the glaze mix all ingredients together - don't skip the butter it helps to give the glaze a nice rich flavor and cut the sweetness a bit. Add more milk as needed to thin to desired consistency. Drizzle with glaze and serve warm!
