How to Make Cookies and Crescent Sweet Rolls

This recipe requires only a few steps for an easy and delicious dessert. This is a summary of the steps; see the full recipe below when you’re ready to begin.

1. Prepare the Pan

Lightly spray a 9-inch round cake pan or glass pie plate with cooking spray to keep the ingredients from sticking.

2. Unroll the Crescent Dough

If you’re using crescent rolls, unroll the dough and separate into 2 long rectangles. Overlap long sides 1/2 inch to form 1 large rectangle. Firmly press down on seams and perforations to seal. If you’re using a dough sheet, simply unroll the dough.

3. Fill the Crescent Dough

Spoon small amounts of cookie dough evenly over your crescent dough, and press or pat to evenly cover the dough. Sprinkle pecans on top of the cookie dough. Starting at the long side, roll the dough and pinch the seams to seal. Cut into 12 pieces, and arrange with the cut side up in your sprayed pan.

4. Bake

Bake for 28 to 35 minutes at 350°F or until the crescent dough is golden brown.

5. Make the Glaze

While the rolls are baking, mix glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Add enough milk for your desired drizzling consistency.

6. Top the Rolls and Serve

Cool the rolls for 15 minutes after removing from the oven. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls. Serve warm.
