There's nothing quite like waking up to a pan of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, but traditional recipes require hours of prep. If you want sweet, fluffy cinnamon rolls in a hurry, try this shortcut instead. Stuff purchased crescent roll dough with large marshmallows, cinnamon sugar, and butter. Once baked, drizzle on a quick homemade icing. In just over 30 minutes, you have rich, cinnamon roll-inspired pastries that are absolutely delicious.

Keep Screen Awake

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 8 large marshmallows

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 1 (8-oz.) can (8 rolls) refrigerated crescent rolls

  • 8 pecan or walnut halves, optional

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2-3 Tbsp. whipping cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line eight 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups and coat with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. In a small bowl stir together sugar and cinnamon.

  3. Dip each marshmallow in butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

  4. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place a coated marshmallow and nut (if using) on the wide end of each crescent roll. Roll up the crescent roll around the marshmallow and fold up to totally enclose. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. (You will use remaining butter for glaze.)

  5. Place in prepared baking cups. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 11 to 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes to cool.

  6. Meanwhile prepare glaze. In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar, remaining melted butter and enough whipping cream to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm rolls.
