Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Press each to 6x4-inch rectangle, pressing perforations to seal.
2 Brush tops of 2 rectangles with some of the melted butter; sprinkle with about half of the sugar mixture. Top each with remaining rectangle; press edges lightly. Brush tops with melted butter.
3 With sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle stack lengthwise into 6 strips. Twist each strip 3 times; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4 Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Brush tops with any remaining melted butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

I used the low-fat version of refrigerated crescents to make them a little bit healthier. They were really easy and quick to make. The pizza cutter tip is a great one! This is a great dessert or snack to whip out for a quick after-dinner treat or if you have people and family over visiting.

I made these for a co-worker's birthday and they were very well received. They are very quick to make too. I made a quadruple recipe in about 50 minutes. Great with coffee or tea. Enjoy!
