Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper.
  • 2 Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles on work surface. Firmly press perforations to seal. Brush with butter, leaving about 1/2 inch on 1 of the long edges of each rectangle of dough without butter. Make sure this edge stays clean so the dough will seal.
  • 3 Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans over the melted butter on dough. Roll dough up tightly, and seal edge. Using serrated knife, cut each dough roll into 16 equal slices. Place slices cut side down 2 to 3 inches apart on cookie sheet.
  • 4 Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Absolutely wonderful. Just made these for breakfast. I used the Pillsbury Crescent Sheet, and didn't really measure anything...just spread and sprinkled. I did use the drizzled icing too. I will definitely be making these again!!!

I make these every year as part of my Christmas cookie assortment. They are so easy with the Pillsbury Pie crust, Always a big hit. Also use the crescent rolls and put a cherry and cream cheese with nuts in each one. They are in an old Pillsbury bake off cook book. They are to die for. You break off the crescent roll pastry into 4 rectangles. Make 8 squares out of each rectangle.
