• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll crescent roll dough onto a silicone baking mat or lightly greased work surface and separate into 4 rectangles; firmly press diagonal perforations with your fingers to smooth them out.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture evenly over rectangles.
• Roll each rectangle into a log starting from the longer side; cut each log into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange mini cinnamon rolls close to one another on the baking sheet.
• Bake the mini cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer baked rolls to a plate and set aside to cool for 1 minute.

EASY MINI CINNAMON ROLLS {CRESCENT DOUGH}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Open crescent roll dough and carefully unroll each piece (refer to images above). Working with one piece at a time lay out and bring four triangles together on lightly greased work surface. Pinch portions and perforated seems together. Carefully turn dough over and repeat on opposite side.
• Roll sealed dough out to about a 7 by 7-inch square. Brush with 1 Tbsp butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, spread out even. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Start on one end and roll dough fairly snug to opposite end to create a log shape. Cut (side to side, not just pressing down, using a sharp knife) into portions.
• Transfer to a well greased mini muffin tin. Repeat process with remaining crescent roll dough, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven until just golden brown, about 9 - 11 minutes. Let cool just a minute or two, run knife around edges while still warm and transfer to a wire rack set over paper towels.
• For the icing: in a mixing bowl whisk together powered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
• Transfer to a small resealable bag an cut a small corner or just use a spoon, drizzle over tops. These are best served warm but if you have leftover just store in an airtight container.

MINI CINNAMON BUN TREATS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
• Unroll dough sheet on lightly floured surface. Spread with 1/4 cup butter; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture, pressing lightly. Starting with long side, roll dough up tightly. Cut into 16 (3/4-inch) slices. Place slices, cut sides down, in muffin cups.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove buns from pans; insert lollipop stick into side of each bun. Cool on cooling racks 30 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 tablespoon butter with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla. Slowly beat in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Spoon glaze into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to drizzle glaze over buns. Store covered in refrigerator.

MINI PECAN STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the topping: In a pan, melt the butter and add the pecans, corn syrup and vanilla. Let the mixture bubble up for a minute, then remove from the heat. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each cup of three 24-hole mini-muffin tins.
• For the rolls: Roll out each piece of dough into a 6-by-24-inch rectangle (should roll out very thin!). Pour a third of the melted butter on each piece, then sprinkle a third of the sugar and a third of the cinnamon evenly over each surface.
• Starting at the far end of one piece, roll the dough into a long log, rolling toward you. You'll end up with a 24-inch log. With a sharp knife, cut into very thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
• Lay the sliced rolls into the muffin tins on top of the pecan mixture, tucking the tails under and patting them firmly on top of the topping. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 13 minutes.
• Turn out the rolls from the pans immediately. Invert carefully, so that the rolls turn out and the pecans stay stuck to the bottoms (which are now the tops!). If a little of the pecans stick in the tins, just dig them out with a spoon and reapply them to the rolls.
