Easy Cinnamon Rolls
1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
4 tablespoons butter
8 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Powdered sugar glaze (optional)
Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat oven; consult package directions on crescent roll package for appropriate baking temperature. Adjust oven rack to middle position.
Unroll dough into 4 rectangles. (Do not tear apart into triangles as if you were making crescent rolls.) Spread 1-tablespoon butter on each rectangle. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar and 1-tablespoon ground cinnamon on each rectangle. Sprinkle each with pecans.
Roll each rectangle into a log; chill 10-15 minutes. Cut each log crosswise into 4 slices.
Place on ungreased baking sheet, cut side up, tucking end under roll to prevent unraveling. Bake according to crescent roll package directions. If desired, ice with powdered sugar glaze (made by combining powdered sugar and milk until the mixture is a spreadable consistency.)
