I was happy with this recipe and did change by using round crescent rolls instead of the normal crescent rolls. My daughter loved making them. Much better way of making the best desserts for a eight year old.

What I used instead of the crescent rolls is used the round crescent rolls. I used one and folded it in half. Worked well. I used sprayed butter and spinkled the sugar/cinnamon mixed on them.

Tried these. They were tasty! Did not change the recipe at all, though I did cook them a good 1 1/2 minutes less than called for. We want them sweeter, so next time I'll add more sugar, but for what they are...cinnamon sugar crescents and NOT churros...they're excellent. :)

Although they turned out fairly well, they were not even remotely close to being churros. Those need to be deep fried and something else was missing, maybe it's in the shape. Dough is piped through a star shaped pastry bag when you make proper churros, or some other element that produces the same effect. Anyway, although these tasted good, they stuck to the cookie sheet and were the devil to remove. Frankly, I consider this recipe a big miss on nearly all counts.
