Ingredients
Pastry
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (8 crescents)
Filling
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Topping
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare crescents: Gently open the refrigerated can of crescent rolls and unroll them carefully. Separate the dough into individual crescents.
- Mix sugar-cinnamon: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar thoroughly.
- Add cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle approximately half a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture onto each crescent roll for a sweet and spicy flavor base.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips across the cinnamon-sugar layer on all crescents, gently pressing them into the dough to keep them in place.
- Roll crescents: Carefully roll up each crescent starting from the wider end and pinch the seams closed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Bake: Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crescents are a beautiful golden brown and cooked through.
- Optional topping: Once baked and slightly cooled, dust the crescents lightly with powdered sugar using a dusting wand or a fine sieve for an added touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use refrigerated crescent rolls for convenience and best texture.
- Be gentle when handling crescent dough to avoid tearing.
- Press chocolate chips lightly into dough to prevent falling out during baking.
- Powdered sugar topping is optional but adds a lovely finishing touch.
- Serve warm for the best taste and melted chocolate experience.
