• 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup dark brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Make rolls: Unroll crescent roll dough onto a silicone baking mat or lightly greased work surface and separate into 4 rectangles; firmly press diagonal perforations with your fingers to smooth them out.

Step 3

Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over rectangles.

Step 4

Roll each rectangle into a log starting from the longer side; cut each log into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange cinnamon rolls close to one another on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer cinnamon rolls to a plate and let cool for 1 minute.

Step 6

While cinnamon rolls are baking, make icing: Stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 7

Pour icing over warm rolls.
