Shortcut Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams together to form two rectangles.

Step 3

Brush each rectangle with half of the melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 4

Starting from a long edge, roll each rectangle up tightly into a log, then slice each log into 6 rolls.

Step 5

Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Step 7

While the rolls bake, beat the cream cheese with the remaining butter until smooth, then beat in the powdered sugar until a thick, spreadable icing forms.

Step 8

Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle or spread with the icing before serving warm.
