Pecan Crescent Twists Recipes

MAPLE PECAN CRESCENT CINNAMON TWISTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugars, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate each can into 4 rectangles (2 of the crescent triangles together). Firmly press together the perforations to seal the 2 crescent triangles together. You will end up with 8 rectangles of dough.
• Brush each rectangle with some melted butter and sprinkle a heaping 1 tablespoon of the pecan/sugar mixture over the butter. Repeat for each rectangle. Starting at the long side of the rectangle, roll up tightly just like cinnamon rolls. Pinch edges to seal.
• Take a sharp knife and cut each roll in half LENGTHWISE. You will end up with 2 rope twists from each rectangle. Take the two pieces and twist them around each other. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining pieces.
• Bake for 10-13 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes before glazing.
• To prepare the glaze: mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until desired consistency is reached. Add more or less milk and/or powdered sugar depending on how thick or thin you want the glaze.
