Ingredients
Crescent Rolls
- 2 tubes/rolls crescent roll dough, 8-count each 8-count each
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
- 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
Powdered Sugar Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbs. butter, melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3-4 Tbs. whole milk, I prefer Highland Dairy Whole Milk
Instructions
Make the Crescent Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the cranberries and walnuts with the sugar; reserve. (Set aside a little bit of this mixture for garnishing the crescents with, if desired.)
- Unroll the crescent roll dough, working with one tube at a time, dividing the dough into 8 triangles; divide half of the prepared cranberry/walnut mixture between the 8 dough triangles, sprinkling it over the top of each one.
- Starting at the large end of each dough triangle, roll up the pastry, using your fingers to tuck the cranberry/walnut filling in as you roll up each one. Place each crescent roll onto a greased pastry-lined baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Repeat with the remaining tube of crescent roll dough and the other half of the cranberry/walnut filling. Place the crescent rolls onto a second greased parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the crescent rolls, uncovered, for 5 minutes, then rotate the pans from top to bottom in the oven; bake another 5-7 minutes or until the crescent rolls are nicely golden browned.
- Let the crescent rolls cool for just a few minutes, then drizzle with the glaze. Garnish each crescent roll with a bit of the reserved cranberry/walnut mixture, if desired.
- Store the crescent rolls in an airtight container for up to two days. (They will NEVER last that long!)
Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze
- To make the powdered sugar glaze, combine all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and adding enough milk to make the glaze easy to drizzle over the crescent rolls.
